Dear Members,
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 ESI 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
<https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dir/2006/112/oj> 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. You can easily
verify this in the VIES VAT number validation website
<https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/#/vat-validation> where
Greece is listed as"EL".
Based on the above, I prepared
https://github.com/cabforum/servercert/compare/main...dzacharo:servercert:updateVAT
and plan to prepare a ballot to update the EV Guidelines. Mozilla is
willing to endorse this ballot so I am actually looking for one more
endorser.
Please let me know if there are any issues or concerns with this proposal.
Best regards,
Dimitris.
