"""VAT (European Union VAT number).
The European Union VAT number consists of a 2 letter country code (ISO
3166-1, except Greece which uses EL) followed by a number that is
allocated per country.
The exact format of the numbers varies per country and a country-specific
check is performed on the number using the VAT module that is relevant for
that country.
