I just wonder if this change could have been made in a more generic
way, so it could be applied in other similar cases, where there’s a
conflict between the BR and the applicable laws.
It cannot, because for those "unknown" (to the CA/B Forum) cases, the
provisions of 9.16.3 of the BRs or 8.1 of EVG must be followed.

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

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 VIES VAT number
validation website

where Greece is listed as"EL".
There is also Council Directive 2020/1756

amending Directive 2006/112/EC that requires the prefix "XI" for the
identification of taxable persons in Northern Ireland.
