*****COUNCIL  ESTIMATE  of 14 January 1985  concerning young male bovine animals weighing 300 kilograms or less and intended for fattening for the period 1 January to 31 December 1985  (85/41/EEC)  THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,  Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (1), as last amended by the 1979 Act of Accession, and in particular Article 13 thereof,  Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,  HAS ADOPTED THIS ESTIMATE:  I. INTRODUCTION  Article 13 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 provides that, each year before 1 December, the Council, acting on a proposal from the Commission and by qualified majority vote, shall draw up an estimate of the young male bovine animals which may be imported under the system laid down under the said Article. This estimate is to take account both of the forecast supplies of young bovine animals intended for fattening within the Community and of Community breeders' requirements.  Community supplies of young bovine animals  This estimate relates to the period 1 January to 31 December 1985. It has been prepared in the light of information available to the Commission and on the basis of the foreseeable trend for 1985 of supplies of and requirements for young male bovine animals intended for fattening in the Community.  In view of the number of breeding females (cows and heifers) anticipated for 1985 (about 34 940 000), some 28 900 000 births of calves are expected during that year. Production over the year of male calves would therefore be about 14 450 000 head.  Community requirements  The number of slaughterings of male calves envisaged for 1985, on the basis of data collected from Member States, should be about 4 200 000 head.  The number of male animals intended for slaughter as fattened young bulls, or for breeding, should be about 6 915 000 head.  The number of male animals intended for slaughter as bullocks should be about 3 485 000 head.  In the light of information provided by Member States and of the above, it is expected that in 1985 the requirements of Community breeders in young male bovine animals for fattening will be 10 400 000 head.  It follows that the Community's overall requirements in male calves will be 14 600 000 head in 1985.  These requirements will only be partly satisfied by Community supplies of these animals which amount to about 14 450 000 head.  II. CONCLUSION  On the basis of the considerations set out above, the estimate for young male bovine animals intended for fattening which may be imported in 1985 under the arrangements provided for in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 is fixed at 190 000 head.
