  <xsd:documentation> Specific disclaimer for this service ----------------------------------------- The
    objective of this Internet site is to allow persons involved in the intra-Community supply of
    goods or of services to obtain confirmation of the validity of the VAT identification number of
    any specified person, in accordance to article 27 of Council Regulation (EC) No. 1798/2003 of 7
    October 2003. Any other use and any extraction and use of the data which is not in conformity
    with the objective of this site is strictly forbidden. Any retransmission of the contents of
    this site, whether for a commercial purpose or otherwise, as well as any more general use other
    than as far as is necessary to support the activity of a legitimate user (for example: to draw
    up their own invoices) is expressly forbidden. In addition, any copying or reproduction of the
    contents of this site is strictly forbidden. The European Commission maintains this website to
    enhance the access by taxable persons making intra-Community supplies to verification of their
    customers VAT identification numbers. Our goal is to supply instantaneous and accurate
    information. However the Commission accepts no responsibility or liability whatsoever with
    regard to the information obtained using this site. This information: - is obtained from Member
    States databases over which the Commission services have no control and for which the Commission
    assumes no responsibility; it is the responsibility of the Member States to keep their databases
    complete, accurate and up to date; - is not professional or legal advice (if you need specific
    advice, you should always consult a suitably qualified professional); - does not in itself give
    a right to exempt intra-Community supplies from Value Added Tax; - does not change any
    obligations imposed on taxable persons in relation to intra-Community supplies. It is our goal
    to minimise disruption caused by technical errors. However some data or information on our site
    may have been created or structured in files or formats which are not error-free and we cannot
    guarantee that our service will not be interrupted or otherwise affected by such problems. The
    Commission accepts no responsibility with regard to such problems incurred as a result of using
    this site or any linked external sites. This disclaimer is not intended to limit the liability
    of the Commission in contravention of any requirements laid down in applicable national law nor
    to exclude its liability for matters which may not be excluded under that law. Usage: The
    countryCode input parameter must follow the pattern [A-Z]{2} The vatNumber input parameter must
    follow the [0-9A-Za-z\+\*\.]{2,12} In case of problem, the returned FaultString can take the
    following specific values: - INVALID_INPUT: The provided CountryCode is invalid or the VAT
    number is empty; - SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE: The SOAP service is unavailable, try again later; -
    MS_UNAVAILABLE: The Member State service is unavailable, try again later or with another Member
    State; - TIMEOUT: The Member State service could not be reach in time, try again later or with
    another Member State; - SERVER_BUSY: The service can't process your request. Try again latter. </xsd:documentation>
