I, Vincent J. Esposito, certify that:

         1.       I have reviewed this report on Form N-Q of The European Equity
                  Fund (formerly, The Germany Fund);

         2.       Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue
                  statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
                  necessary to make the statements made, in light of the
                  circumstances under which such statements were made, not
                  misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;

         3.       Based on my knowledge, the schedules of investments included
                  in this report fairly present in all material respects the
                  investments of the registrant as of the end of the fiscal
                  quarter for which the report is filed;

         4.       The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I are
                  responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure
                  controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the
                  Investment Company Act of 1940) and internal control over
                  financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the
                  Investment Company Act of 1940) for the registrant and have:

                  (a)      Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or
                           caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be
                           designed under our supervision, to ensure that
                           material information relating to the registrant,
                           including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made
                           known to us by others within those entities,
                           particularly during the period in which this report
                           is being prepared;

                  (b)      Designed such internal control over financial
                           reporting, or caused such internal control over
                           financial reporting to be designed under our
                           supervision, to provide reasonable assurance
                           regarding the reliability of financial reporting and
                           the preparation of financial statements for external
                           purposes in accordance with generally accepted
                           accounting principles;

                  (c)      Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's
                           disclosure controls and procedures and presented in
                           this report our conclusions about the effectiveness
                           of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of a
                           date within 90 days prior to the filing date of this
                           report, based on such evaluation; and

                  (d)      Disclosed in this report any change in the
                           registrant's internal control over financial
                           reporting that occurred during the registrant's most
                           recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected,
                           or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
                           registrant's internal control over financial
                           reporting; and

         5.       The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I have
                  disclosed to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee
                  of the registrant's board of directors (or persons performing
                  the equivalent functions):

                  (a)      All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses
                           in the design or operation of internal control over
                           financial reporting which are reasonably likely to
                           adversely affect the registrant's ability to record,
                           process, summarize, and report financial information;
                           and

                           role in the registrant's internal control over
                           financial reporting.
