<p id="bkmrk-the-ev-guidelines-ha" dir="ltr" role="presentation">The
EV Guidelines have strict rules in the organizationIdentifier
values and require the country code of all currently-allowed
Registration Schemes (NTR, VAT, PSD) to follow the ISO 3166-1
for the 2-letter country prefix.<br>
<br>
The organizationIdentifier language mainly came from ETSI EN
319 412-1 and then the SCWG made several modifications.
However, there is an exception for Greece specifically for the
VAT Registration Scheme that is aligned with Article 215 of <a
href="https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dir/2006/112/oj"
rel="nofollow" moz-do-not-send="true">Council Directive
2006/112/EC</a> that allows Greece to use the country prefix
"EL". In practice, Greece uses the prefix "EL" to identify
itself next to the VAT number of all Legal Entities
registered/incorporated/established in Greece, and all other
European Countries use this prefix to identify Greek VAT
numbers. This can easily be verified in the <a
href="https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/#/vat-validation"
moz-do-not-send="true">VIES VAT number validation website</a>
where Greece is listed as"EL".</p>
<p id="bkmrk-there-is-also-counci" dir="ltr" role="presentation">There
is also <a href="https://data.europa.eu/eli/dir/2020/1756/oj"
moz-do-not-send="true">Council Directive 2020/1756</a>
amending Directive 2006/112/EC that requires the prefix "XI"
for the identification of taxable persons in Northern Ireland.</p>
