Hi @em43
Did you miss the whole Brexit thing?
It wasn't in the news much but was quite big in its own way! 
Yes - ECG codes are now defunct except for NI to EU trade. For VAT purposes, GB to EU trade is now the same as GB to anywhere else - use Exempt or Z=0% or set up a custom VAT code (I use Export=0% for this).
No need any more to hold on to customer VAT numbers for zero rating but you will need to retain proof of export (HMRC was always pretty lenient on intra-EU trade while asking for more evidence of ROW export).
Hope this helps.
