eu-vat-check's Issues

Not accessible maven repository

Hello, I want to ask, if your maven will be available again. We have this library as an dependency in our project and it stops compiling last time we try to deploy it, as it can't contact your maven repository.

If you have a time to reply, we only need to know, if we need to replace this depencency, or it will be accessible later.

Thanks a lot,

Jakub
