The EU VIES team implemented a forward from http to https requests on the 17th April 2020. This leads to the situation, for some systems, that you can not validate VAT numbers in your Magento store with the old address (http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/checkVatService.wsdl) anymore.

We are very proud to announce our membership in the Magento Extension Developers Network (or ExtDN in short). Officially, ExtDN describes itself as: "A network of leading Magento extension developers who share a common vision for a thriving Magento ecosystem with the merchant's success at heart. Collectively, ExtDN members are committed to advancing Magento as the world's leading e-commerce platform for merchants."

Many people asked for the Magento2 version of our popular EU VAT Enhanced module. We were working hard and will release the first version shortly.
