Purpose of the Ballot

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.

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 Council Directive 2006/112/EC

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 VIES VAT number validation website
