    Having regard to the request submitted by Luxembourg,

    (1) Whereas on 14 August 1998, Luxembourg's authorities submitted to the Commission a request asking for recognition of the fully operational character of their database that forms part of Luxembourg's system for the identification and registration of bovine animals; whereas this request was accompanied by appropriate information that was updated on 12 March 1999;
