Bug description:
There seems to be quite a lot of bug reports concerning base_vat with checks not working for (at least) Slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, Portugal, Spain and Sweden.

I'd like to add a new of for Italy. IT 00118439991 is validated ok by http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/viesquer.do

but is not by OpenERP base_vat addon.

Given the poor added value of theses (invalid) checks and their hindrance of not being able to fill the (correct) VAT of a partner, I think we should stick to the official checks guidelines available here: http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/faqvies.do#item11
