Translate the following English sentence to French:
"That is the direction in which things are heading with the classification of countries, which, rather than taking into account the most basic factor, which is the existence or non-existence of cases of encephalopathy in their raised cattle, takes account of other factors when allocating countries to a particular category."
C' est à quoi aboutit le processus de classement des pays, en vertu duquel, au lieu de prendre en considération le critère de base, à savoir l' existence ou non de cas d' encéphalopathie spongiforme parmi leurs bovins d' élevage, ce sont d' autres aspects qui sont pris en compte.
