<p align="center"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><b>The European <BR>Equity Fund, Inc.</b></font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><b>LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS</b></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="1">European equity markets continued to rise in the fourth quarter of 2006, concluding another strong year for equities. Investors seemed to gain more confidence in what has been our long-held view of a benign economic growth and inflation environment globally. This manifested itself over the quarter in the expansion of the valuation multiple applied to projected earnings despite slightly rising bond yields and an uninspiring third-quarter earnings season. The sector performance in the fourth quarter by and large reflected the performance pattern for the full year: the cyclical sectors &#151; industrials and materials &#151; were leading in the quarter, supported by signs of accelerating economic growth in the euro zone, particularly Germany. Financials and telecoms also outperformed on the back of positive earnings revision trends. The best performing sector in 2006, however, was utilities, boosted by merger and acquisition (M&amp;A) activity.
 Small- and mid-cap stocks outperformed large-caps in the quarter, extending their impressive lead for the year. Among European countries, the Fund's focus markets of the European Monetary Union (EMU) were comparatively strong again with the MSCI EMU rising 7.6% in US dollar terms.<sup>1</sup> The smaller markets Austria, Ireland and Greece, in which the Fund carries a combined overweight, were the best markets in the quarter, closely followed by Germany and Spain, while the Netherlands, which is underrepresented in the Fund, clearly lagged. Outside EMU, Norway staged a major turn-around as oil stocks recovered. Not surprisingly in a buoyant environment for equities, United Kingdom (UK) and Swiss stocks failed to catch up with the European market as a whole.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="1">For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, The European Equity Fund's total return was 34.01% based on net asset value and 42.35% based on share price. During the same period, the total return of the Fund's benchmark, the MSCI-EMU, was 36.29%.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="1">In the fourth quarter of 2006, the favourable relative performance of the Fund helped lift the full-year return. The Fund's underweight in the Netherlands as well as the overweight in Austria constituted the major positives.<sup>2</sup> Austria has remained the largest overweight, followed by Greece and France, while the biggest underweights continue to be the Netherlands and Spain. From a sector perspective, the positive impact from our industrials overweight was offset by the lagging performance of sector overweights in technology and healthcare. Industrials and information technology combined remain the largest overweight in the Fund, while the health care sector also remains a significant overweight position. We cut the Fund's overweight in the energy sector as the earnings outlook, particularly for the oil majors, becomes more challenging, reinvesting the proceeds in the banking sector, which is now neutral. The consumer discretionary a
nd staples sectors as well as utilities remain pronounced underweights.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="1">The largest positive contributions to relative performance on a single-stock basis were achieved by industrial stocks Demag Cranes, Metso and Vallourec. The most significant change in the industrials sector during the fourth quarter was the addition of Legrand, the French electrical systems manufacturer. Other key holdings in the sector are construction materials company Saint Gobain; SGS, the Swiss industrial inspection company; Zodiac for its exposure to the prolonged civil aerospace cycle, notably the aftermarket segment; and Wienerberger, the Austrian bricks producer, for its dominant position in Eastern Europe and exposure to the current turnaround in the German construction market. The overweight in the technology sector is barely changed, still favouring SAP and Ericsson as key large-cap names. After the major shift into health care in the third quarter, the Fund's position in the sector was little changed in the fourth quarter. Stada
, however, was added as a new stock due to a combination of undervalued structural growth from generics and M&amp;A appeal. Within the energy sector,the preference is still with oil services stocks as they benefit from the oil majors' expansion in capital expenditures in their drive to increase production. We lowered the exposure to oil majors by reducing the position in French Total, which is now underweight, and Norwegian Statoil, which is still our key pick amongst the majors, along with Austrian OMV, which we like for its Romanian exposure. The Fund's position in the financial sector is back up to neutral as we added Belgium KBC, which combines emerging markets exposure with domestic restructuring. On the other hand, we eliminated CNP Assurances in France after they reported disappointing numbers. In the materials sector, we increased our underweighting by selling Kali &amp; Salz and reducing Belgian Umicore. The Fund's largest position in this sector is now in Germany's Linde as we expect the management





 to deliver further benefits from repositioning the company as a pure gas business. Within the underweighted consumer sectors we continue to </font></p>

We sold Adidas, as their outlook for growth disappointed, but added Aegis in the UK. Aegis is an advertising agency that should benefit from emerging markets exposure as well as from expanding its position in the growth segment of online advertising. In line with our tilt towards growth stocks, we continue to have an underweight stance in utilities and telecoms. We trimmed our position in Telefonica and reinvested the proceeds in new position Neuf Cegetel, an alternative telecom operator in France benefiting from market share gains thanks to unbundling regulation.</font></p>

<p align="left"><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><b>ECONOMIC OUTLOOK</b></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><b>The European Equity Fund &#151; Economic Outlook</b></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="1">Economic growth in 2006 was stronger than expected, particularly in Germany, where the growth rate was the strongest it has been since the year 2000. An improved labor market and increased contribution from domestic demand were key factors for GDP growth in the region, as Eurozone unemployment fell to 7.6%, the lowest level on record. German growth also benefited from stabilization of the construction sector, which had been declining for a decade. In 2007, we believe that global GDP growth will slow somewhat, primarily due to weaker private consumption in the US as a result of the cooling housing market. However, global growth should continue to receive support from increased consumption and infrastructure investments in emerging markets. The outlook for the Eurozone is decidedly more positive than it was at the beginning of 2006, in part due to increasing optimism with regard to Germany, the Eurozone's biggest economy. Driven by capital exp
enditures, consumption and exports, we believe Eurozone growth will be approximately 2% in 2007, somewhat weaker than 2006 growth due to fiscal policy consolidation measures in Germany and Italy and the more moderate global growth environment. Key risks to this scenario include relapsing oil prices, further impact from the slowdown in the US housing market, a decline in global capital expenditure demand, and further appreciation of the euro, which would make European exports less attractive. The European Central Bank (ECB) raised interest rates five times in 2006, ending the year at 3.5%. We expect the ECB to tighten at least one more time in 2007, likely in the first quarter. However, with inflationary risks looking to be contained (we believe inflation will remain around 2% in 2007), the cycle of interest rate hikes is likely to come to an end in 2007.</font></p>

<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="1"><i>Index returns assume reinvested dividends and, unlike Fund returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly into the benchmarks.</i></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="1"><i>On October 27, 2005, the Fund adopted its current name and investment policies. Prior to that date the Fund was known as The Germany Fund and its objective was to seek long-term capital appreciation primarily through investments in German equities.</i></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">Investments in funds involve risk including the loss of principal.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">This Fund is not diversified and primarily focuses its investments in equity securities of issuers domiciled in European countries that utilize the Euro currency, thereby increasing its vulnerability to developments in that region. Investing in foreign securities presents certain unique risks not associated with domestic investments, such as currency fluctuation and political and economic changes and market risks. This may result in greater share price volatility.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. There is an initial public offering, and once issued, shares of closed-end funds are sold in the open market through a stock exchange. Shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a discount to net asset value. The price of the Fund's shares is determined by a number of factors, several of which are beyond the control of the Fund. Therefore, the Fund cannot predict whether its shares will trade at, below or above net asset value.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">The Fund has elected to not be subject to the statutory calculation, notification and publication requirements of the German Investment Tax Act (Investmentsteuergesetz). As a result German investors in the Fund may be subject to less favorable lump-sum taxation under German law.</font></p>

<p align="left"><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><b>INTERVIEW WITH THE LEAD PORTFOLIO MANAGER &#151; Ralf Oberbannscheidt</b></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><b><i>Question:</i></b></font><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><b> After such strong performance in 2006, what do you think are the key attractions and risks for the European market in 2007?</b></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><b><i>Answer:</i></b></font><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"> After their strong recent performance, current levels in European stock markets may require some consolidation, yet absolute and relative valuations of equities remain attractive enough to see further upside potential on a 12-month view, at least in line with earnings growth and possibly supported by valuation expansion if confidence grows further. Stock prices have been fueled in recent weeks by a reduction in the risk premium as the year-end approached and by investors embracing a benign macro backdrop for 2007, which we endorse as supportive for equities globally. Moderating but robust growth in most economies, inflation under control, helped by a softer oil price, and few political concerns combined with healthy corporate balance sheets and attractive absolute and relative valuation, even if earnings growth may be increasingly questioned. For Eu
rope, we believe we will see high-single digit earnings growth in 2007 if economic growth surprises on the upside.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><b>Question: What are the primary factors driving your investment decisions for the Fund in 2007?</b></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><b><i>Answer: </i></b></font><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">While investment decisions in the Fund are primarily driven by stock-specific factors there are several key strategic themes reflected in the Fund's structure. First, underinvestment in the past in many industries has created considerable pent-up demand for industrial goods and services as well as technology applications. As companies under-leverage and continue to generate healthy cash-flow, we believe they will raise capital expenditure levels further in an effort to grow sales. We emphasize structural growth aspects driven by infrastructure needs and an ongoing effort by companies to improve efficiency of their production processes. Second, while we continue to underweight the consumer space in aggregate due to concerns over valuation and lackluster growth overall we highlight our structural preference within the sector for luxury- or lifestyle-r
elated branded goods companies, which should particularly benefit from wealth creation in emerging economies, notably China. Third, economic growth in more mature economies like Europe is increasingly supported by trade and investment relationships with more rapidly growing emerging market countries, facilitated by globalization. Above-average sales and earnings growth is therefore more likely to accrue to companies with sizeable exposure to those growth regions. Finally, as 2006 was another year of outperformance for value stocks we consider the relative valuation of growth stocks even more compelling given our expectation of (cyclical) growth becoming scarcer in the equity market. Therefore, we believe stocks that exhibit structural growth characteristics will do better going forward.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><b><i>Question:</i></b></font><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><b> How is the Fund currently positioned to take advantages of any variations in performance within Euroland?</b></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><b><i>Answer:</i></b></font><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"> On a country level, Austria is the largest overweight, followed by Greece and France. We recently reduced the Fund's position in German equities to slightly below the benchmark weight. Going forward, we will be monitoring developments in the German market closely, as there are increasing signs of an economic turnaround taking shape, including data showing that jobless claims have finally fallen below 10%. In a country where the savings rate is particularly high, improvements in the economy may inspire Germans to begin spending, potentially countering the expected negative impact on consumer spending from the recent VAT increase. Another factor we will be watching in Germany is the development of private equity and M&amp;A transactions. The most preferred ex-benchmark country remains Switzerland, followed now by the United Kingdom as we enlarged exis
ting positions and added a third name. Other smaller non-EMU investments are in our long-standing favourites, Norway and Sweden. The biggest underweight countries continue to be the Netherlands and Spain.</font></p>

Only individuals who need to do so in carrying out their job responsibilities may access client information. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that comply with federal and state standards to protect confidentiality. These safeguards extend to all forms of interaction with us, including the Internet.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">In the normal course of business, we may obtain information about stockholders whose shares are registered in their names. For purposes of these policies, "clients" means stockholders of the Fund. (We generally do not have knowledge of or collect personal information about stockholders who hold Fund shares in "street" name," such as through brokers or banks.) Examples of the nonpublic personal information collected are name, address, Social Security number and transaction and balance information. To be able to serve our clients, certain of this client information may be shared with affiliated and nonaffiliated third party service providers such as transfer agents, custodians, and broker-dealers to assist us in processing transactions and servicing the client's account with us. The organizations described above that receive client information may only use it for the purpose designated by the Fund.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">We may also disclose nonpublic personal information about clients to other parties as required or permitted by law. For example, we are required or we may provide information to government entities or regulatory bodies in response to requests for information or subpoenas, to private litigants in certain circumstances, to law enforcement authorities, or any time we believe it necessary to protect the firm from such activity.</font></p>

<p align="left"><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><b>THE EUROPEAN EQUITY FUND, INC.<BR>NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS &#151; DECEMBER 31, 2006</b></font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><b>NOTE 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES</b></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">The European Equity Fund, Inc. (formerly The Germany Fund, Inc.) (the "Fund") was incorporated in Delaware on April 8, 1986 as a diversified, closed-end management investment company. Investment operations commenced on July 23, 1986. The Fund reincorporated in Maryland on August 29, 1990 and on October 16, 1996 the Fund changed from a diversified to a non-diversified company.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><b><i>Security Valuation:</i></b></font><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"> Investments are stated at value. All securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sales price on the primary exchange on which they are traded prior to the time of valuation. If no sales price is available at that time, and both bid and ask prices are available, the securities are valued at the mean between the last current bid and ask prices; if no quoted asked prices are available, they are valued at the last quoted bid price. All securities for which market quotations are not readily available will be valued as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Fund. The Fund calculates its net asset value per share at 11:30 a.m., New York time, in order to minimize the possibility that events occurring after the close of the securities exchanges on which the Fund's portfolio securities pr
incipally trade would require adjustment to the closing market prices in order to reflect fair value.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">In September 2006, The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("FAS 157"). FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. As of December 31, 2006, management does not believe the adoption of FAS 157 will </font><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">impact the amounts reported in the financial statements, however, additional disclosures will be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements of fair value and the effect of certain of the measurements reported in the statement of operations for a fiscal period.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><b><i>Securities Transactions and Investment Income:</i></b></font><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"> Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Cost of securities sold is calculated using the identified cost method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Such dividend income is recorded net of unrecoverable foreign withholding tax.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><b><i>Securities Lending:</i></b></font><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"> The Fund may lend securities to financial institutions. The Fund retains beneficial ownership of the securities it has loaned and continues to receive interest and dividends paid by the securities and to participate in any changes in their market value. The Fund requires the borrowers of the securities to maintain collateral with the Fund consisting of liquid, unencumbered assets having a value at least equal to or greater than the "Margin Percentage" to the value of the securities loaned. "Margin Percentage" shall mean (i) for collateral which is denominated in the same currency as the loaned securities, 102%, and (ii) for collateral which is denominated in a currency different from that of the loaned security, 105%. The Fund may invest the cash collateral into a joint trading account in an affiliated money market fund (containing short
 term high quality securities) pursuant to Exemptive Orders issued by the SEC. The Fund receives compensation for lending its securities either in the form of fees or by earning interest on invested cash collateral net of fees paid to a lending agent. Either the Fund or the borrower may terminate the loan. The Fund is subject to all investment risks associated with the value of any cash collateral received, including, but not limited to, interest rate, credit and liquidity risk associated with such investments.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><b><i>Foreign Currency Translation:</i></b></font><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"> The books and records of the Fund are maintained in United States dollars.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">Assets and liabilities denominated in Euros and other foreign currency amounts are translated into United States </font></p>

<p align="left"><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><b>THE EUROPEAN EQUITY FUND, INC.<BR>NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS &#151; DECEMBER 31, 2006 (continued)</b></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">dollars at the 11:00 a.m. mid-point of the buying and selling spot rates quoted by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are reported at the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective settlement dates of such transactions. The resultant gains and losses arising from exchange rate fluctuations are identified separately in the Statement of Operations, except for such amounts attributable to investments which are included in net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments. </font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">At December 31, 2006, the exchange rate was EURO .7576 to US $1.00.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><b><i>Futures Contracts:</i></b></font><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"> A futures contract is an agreement between a buyer or seller and an established futures exchange or its clearinghouse in which the buyer or seller agrees to take or make a delivery of a specific amount of a financial instrument at a specified price on a specific date (settlement date). The Fund may enter into futures contracts as a hedge against anticipated interest rate, currency or equity market changes, and for duration management, risk management and return enhancement purposes.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with a financial intermediary an amount ("initial margin") equal to a certain percentage of the face value indicated in the futures contract. Subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made or received by the Fund dependent upon the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. When entering into a closing transaction, the Fund will realize a gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the futures contract to sell and the futures contract to buy. Futures contracts are valued at the most recent settlement price.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">Certain risks may arise upon entering into futures contracts, including the risk that an illiquid secondary market will limit the Fund's ability to close out a futures contract prior to the settlement date and that a change in the value of a futures contract may not correlate exactly with the changes in the value of the securities or currencies hedged. When utilizing futures contracts to hedge, the Fund gives up the </font><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">opportunity to profit from favorable price movements in the hedged positions during the term of the contract.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><b><i>Contingencies:</i></b></font><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"> In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet been made. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><b><i>Taxes:</i></b></font><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"> No provision has been made for United States Federal income tax because the Fund intends to meet the requirements of the United States Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to shareholders.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">The cost of investments at December 31, 2006 was $143,146,261 for United States Federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, as of December 31 2006, net unrealized appreciation of investments aggregated $34,051,477 of which $34,052,842 and $1,365 related to unrealized appreciation and depreciation, respectively.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">For United States Federal income tax purposes, the Fund had a capital loss carry forward at December 31, 2006 of approximately $4,928,000, which may be applied against any realized net taxable capital gains of each succeeding year until fully utilized or until 12/31/2010, whichever occurs first. During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Fund utilized $17,685,000 of its capital loss carryforward.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">In July 2006, FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48"), "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes &#151; an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" (the "Interpretation"). The Interpretation establishes for the Fund a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of positions taken in filing tax returns (including whether the Fund is taxable in certain jurisdictions), and requires certain expanded tax disclosures. The Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. On December 22, 2006 the SEC indicated that, they would not object if a Fund implements FIN 48 in the first required financial statement reporting period for its fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2006. </font></p>

<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">Management has begun to evaluate the application of the Interpretation to the Fund and is not in a position at this time to estimate the significance of its impact, if any, on the Fund's financial statements.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><b><i>Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders:</i></b></font><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"> The Fund records dividends and distributions to its shareholders on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with United States Federal income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences primarily relate to investments in foreign denominated investments, investments in passive foreign investment companies, recognition of certain foreign currency gains (losses) as ordinary income (loss) and certain securities sold at a loss. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such periods. Accordingly, the Fund may periodically make reclassifications among certain
of its capital accounts without impacting the net asset value of the Fund.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">At December 31, 2006, the Fund's components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax-basis were as follows:</font></p>

<p align="left"><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of <BR>The European Equity Fund, Inc.:</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The European Equity Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") at December 31, 2006, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in
 accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2006 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.</font></p>

<p align="left"><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><b>VOLUNTARY CASH PURCHASE PROGRAM AND DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN <BR>(unaudited)</b></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">The Fund offers shareholders a Voluntary Cash Purchase Program and Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("Plan") which provides for optional cash purchases and for the automatic reinvestment of dividends and distributions payable by the Fund in additional Fund shares. A more complete description of the Plan is provided in the Plan brochure available from DWS Scudder Investments Service Company, the transfer agent (the "Transfer Agent"), P.O. Box 219066, Kansas City, Missouri 64105 (telephone 1-800-437-6269). UMB Bank, N.A. (the "Plan Agent") acts as the plan agent under the Plan. A shareholder should read the Plan brochure carefully before enrolling in the Plan.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">Under the Plan, participating shareholders ("Plan Participants") appoint the Transfer Agent to receive or invest Fund distributions as described below under "Reinvestment of Fund Shares." In addition, Plan Participants may make optional cash purchases through the Transfer Agent as often as once a month as described below under "Voluntary Cash Purchases." There is no charge to Plan Participants for participating in the Plan, although when shares are purchased under the Plan by the Plan Agent on the New York Stock Exchange or otherwise on the open market, each Plan Participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred in connection with such purchases, as described below under "Reinvestment of Fund Shares" and "Voluntary Cash Purchases."</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><b><i>Reinvestment of Fund Shares.</i></b></font><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"> Whenever the Fund declares a capital gains distribution, an income dividend or a return of capital distribution payable, at the election of shareholders, either in cash or in Fund shares, or payable only in cash, the Transfer Agent shall automatically elect to receive Fund shares for the account of each Plan Participant.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">Whenever the Fund declares a capital gains distribution, an income dividend or a return of capital distribution payable only in cash and the net asset value per share of the Fund's common stock equals or is less than the market price per share on the valuation date (the "Market Parity or Premium"), the Transfer Agent shall apply the amount of such dividend or distribution payable to a Plan Participant to the purchase from the Fund of Fund Shares for a Plan </font><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">Participant's account, except that if the Fund does not offer shares for such purpose because it concludes Securities Act registration would be required and such registration cannot be timely effected or is not otherwise a cost-effective alternative for the Fund, then the Transfer Agent shall follow the procedure described in the next paragraph. The number of additional shares to be credited to a Plan Participant's acc
ount shall be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the distribution payable to a Plan Participant by the net asset value per share of the Fund's common stock on the valuation date, or if the net asset value per share is less than 95% of the market price per share on such date, then by 95% of the market price per share. The valuation date will be the payable date for such dividend or distribution.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">Whenever the Fund declares a capital gains distribution, an income dividend or a return of capital distribution payable only in cash and the net asset value per share of the Fund's common stock exceeds the market price per share on the valuation date (the "Market Discount"), the Plan Agent shall apply the amount of such dividend or distribution payable to a Plan Participant (less a Plan Participant's pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to open-market purchases in connection with the reinvestment of such dividend or distribution) to the purchase on the open market of Fund shares for a Plan Participant's account. The valuation date will be the payable date for such dividend or distribution. Such purchases will be made on or shortly after the valuation date and in no event more than 30 days after such date except where temporary curtailment or suspension of purchase is necessary to comply with applicable provisions of
federal securities laws.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">The Transfer Agent or the Plan Agent may aggregate a Plan Participant's purchases with the purchases of other Plan Participants, and the average price (including brokerage commissions) of all shares purchased by the Plan Agent shall be the price per share allocable to each Plan Participant.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">For all purposes of the Plan, the market price of the Fund's common stock on a payable date shall be the last sales price on the New York Stock Exchange on that date, or, if there is no sale on such Exchange (or, if different, the </font></p>

The net asset value per share of the Fund's common stock on a valuation date shall be as determined by or on behalf of the Fund.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">The Transfer Agent may hold a Plan Participant's shares acquired pursuant to the Plan, together with the shares of other Plan Participants acquired pursuant to this Plan, in non-certificated form in the name of the Transfer Agent or that of a nominee. The Transfer Agent will forward to each Plan Participant any proxy solicitation material and will vote any shares so held for a Plan Participant only in accordance with the proxy returned by a Plan Participant to the Fund. Upon a Plan Participant's written request, the Transfer Agent will deliver to a Plan Participant, without charge, a certificate or certificates for the full shares held by the Transfer Agent.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><b><i>Voluntary Cash Purchases.</i></b></font><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"> Plan Participants have the option of making investments in Fund shares through the Transfer Agent as often as once a month. Plan Participants may invest as little as $100 in any month and may invest up to $36,000 annually through the voluntary cash purchase feature of the Plan.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">The Plan Agent shall apply such funds (less a Plan Participant's pro rata share of brokerage commissions or other costs, if any) to the purchase on the New York Stock Exchange (or, if different, on the principal exchange for Fund shares) or otherwise on the open market of Fund shares for such Plan Participant's account, regardless of whether there is a Market Parity or Premium or a Market Discount. The Plan Agent will purchase shares for Plan Participants on or about the 15th of each month. Cash payments received by the Transfer Agent less than five business days prior to a cash purchase investment date will be held by the Transfer Agent until the next month's investment date. Uninvested funds will not bear interest. Plan Participants may withdraw any voluntary cash payment by written notice received by the Transfer Agent not less than 48 hours before such payment is to be invested.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><b><i>Enrollment and Withdrawal.</i></b></font><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"> Both current shareholders and first-time investors in the Fund are eligible to participate in the Plan. Current shareholders my join the Plan by either enrolling their shares with the Transfer Agent or by making an initial cash deposit of at least $250 with the Transfer Agent. First-time investors in the Fund may join the Plan by making an initial cash deposit of at least $250 with the Transfer Agent. In order to become a Plan Participant, shareholders must complete and sign the enrollment form included in the Plan brochure and return it, and, if applicable, an initial cash deposit of at least $250 directly to the Transfer Agent if shares are registered in their name. Shareholders who hold Fund shares in the name of a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee should contact such nominee to arrange for it to participate in the Plan on
such shareholder's behalf.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">If the Plan Participant elects to participate in the Plan by enrolling current shares owned by the Plan Participant with the Transfer Agent, participation in the dividend reinvestment feature of the Plan begins with the next dividend or capital gains distribution payable after the Transfer Agent receives the Plan Participant's written authorization, provided such authorization is received by the Transfer Agent prior to the record date for such dividend or distribution. If such authorization is received after such record date, the Plan Participant's participation in the dividend reinvestment feature of the Plan begins with the following dividend or distribution.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">If the Plan Participant elects to participate in the Plan by making an initial cash deposit of at least $250 with the Transfer Agent, participation in the dividend reinvestment feature of the Plan begins with the next dividend or capital gains distribution payable after the Transfer Agent receives the Plan Participant's authorization and deposit, and after the Plan Agent purchases shares for the Plan Participant on the New York Stock Exchange (or, if different, on the principal exchange for Fund shares) or otherwise on the open market, provided that the authorization and deposit are received, and the purchases are made by the Plan Agent prior to the record date.

<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">Plan Participants may withdraw from the Plan without charge by written notice to the Transfer Agent. Plan Participants who choose to withdraw may elect to receive stock certificates representing all of the full shares held by the Transfer Agent on their behalf, or to instruct the Transfer Agent to sell such full shares and distribute the proceeds, net of brokerage commissions, to such withdrawing Plan Participant. Withdrawing Plan Participants will receive a cash adjustment for the market value of any fractional shares held on their behalf at the time of termination. Withdrawal will be effective immediately with respect to distributions with a record date not less than 10 days later than receipt of such written notice by the Transfer Agent.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><b><i>Amendment and Termination of Plan.</i></b></font><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"> The Plan may only be amended or supplemented by the Fund or by the Transfer Agent by giving each Plan Participant written notice at least 90 days prior to the effective date of such amendment or supplement, except that such notice period may be shortened when necessary or appropriate in order to comply with applicable law or the rules or policies of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other regulatory body. </font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">The Plan may be terminated by the Fund or by the Transfer Agent by written notice mailed to each Plan Participant. Such termination will be effective with respect to all distributions with a record date at least 90 days after the mailing of such written notice to the Plan Participants.</font></p>

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, when the Fund issues shares representing an income dividend or a capital gains dividend, a Participant will include in income the fair market value of the shares received as of the payment date, which will be ordinary dividend income or capital gains, as the case may be. The shares will have a tax basis equal to such fair market value, and the holding period for the shares will begin on the day after the date of distribution. If shares are purchased on the open market by the Plan Agent, a Plan Participant will include in income the amount of the cash pay
ment made. The basis of such shares will be the purchase price of the shares, and the holding period for the shares will begin on the day following the date of purchase. State, local and foreign taxes may also be applicable.</font></p>

<p align="left"><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><b>INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND<BR>INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT APPROVAL</b></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">The Fund's directors unanimously approved the continuance of the management agreement between the Fund and Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DIMA") and the investment advisory agreement between the Fund and Deutsche Asset Management International GmbH ("DeAMI") (together called the "agreements") at a meeting held on July 14, 2006.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">In preparation for the meeting, the directors had requested and evaluated extensive materials from DIMA and DeAMI, including performance and expense information for other investment companies with similar investment objectives derived from data compiled by Lipper Inc. ("Lipper"). Prior to voting, the directors reviewed the proposed continuance of the agreements with management and with experienced counsel who are independent of DIMA and DeAMI and received a memorandum from such counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuance. The directors also discussed the proposed continuance in a private session with counsel at which no representatives of DIMA or DeAMI were present. In reaching their determination relating to continuance of the agreements, the directors considered all factors they believed relevant, including the following:</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">1. information comparing the Fund's performance to other investment companies with similar investment objectives and to an index;</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">2. the nature, extent and quality of investment and administrative services rendered by DIMA and DeAMI;</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">3. payments received by DIMA and DeAMI from all sources in respect to the Fund and all investment companies in the DWS Scudder family of funds;</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">4. the costs borne by, and profitability of, DIMA and DeAMI and their affiliates in providing services to the Fund and to all investment companies in the DWS Scudder family of funds;</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">5. comparative fee and expense data for the Fund and other investment companies with similar investment objectives;</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">6. the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of investors;</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">7. DIMA's and DeAMI's policies and practices regarding allocation of the Fund's portfolio transactions, including the extent, if any, to which DIMA and DeAMI benefit from soft dollar arrangements;</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">8. the Fund's portfolio turnover rates compared to those of other investment companies with similar investment objectives;</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">9. fall-out benefits which DIMA, DeAMI and their affiliates receive from their relationships with the Fund;</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">10. the professional experience and qualifications of the Fund's portfolio management team and other senior personnel of DIMA and DeAMI; and</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">11. the terms of the agreements.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">The directors also considered their knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by DIMA and DeAMI to the Fund gained from their experience as directors of the Central Europe and Russia Fund and, where relevant, the New Germany Fund and other DWS Scudder funds, their confidence in DIMA's and DeAMI's integrity and competence gained from that experience and DIMA's and DeAMI's responsiveness to concerns raised by them in the past, including DIMA's and DeAMI's willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to the Fund.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">In their deliberations, the directors did not identify any particular information that was all-important or controlling, and each director attributed different weights to the various factors.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">The directors determined that the overall arrangements between the Fund and DIMA, as provided in the management agreement, and between the Fund and DeAMI, as provided in the investment advisory agreement, were fair and reasonable in light of the services performed, expenses </font></p>

<p align="left"><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><b>INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND<BR>INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT APPROVAL (continued)</b></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">incurred and such other matters as the directors considered relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the directors' reaching their determination to approve the continuance of the agreements (including their determinations that DIMA and DeAMI should continue in those roles for the Fund, and that the fees payable to DIMA and DeAMI pursuant to the agreements are appropriate) were separately discussed by the directors.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><b>Nature, extent and quality of services provided by DIMA and DeAMI</b></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">The directors noted that, under the management agreement, DIMA acts as the Fund's corporate manager and administrator and, subject to the supervision of the Fund's board of directors and pursuant to recommendations made by DeAMI, determines suitable securities for investment by the Fund. Under the investment advisory agreement, DeAMI, in accordance with the Fund's investment objectives, policies and limitations, makes recommendations with respect to the Fund's investments and, upon instructions given by DIMA as to suitable securities for investment by us, transmits purchase and sale orders and selects brokers and dealers to execute portfolio transactions on the Fund's behalf. Under the management agreement, DIMA also handles the Fund's relationships with shareholders, is responsible for compliance with regulatory and NYSE listing requirements, negotiates arrangements with third party service providers, provides the Fund's directors with rele
vant reports, prepares the Fund's tax returns and SEC and shareholder reports, calculates dividends and net asset value, oversees payment of the Fund's expenses and maintains books and records. DIMA also provides the Fund with such office facilities and executive and other personnel adequate to perform its services. DIMA pays all of the compensation of the Fund's directors and officers who are interested persons of DIMA.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">The directors considered the scope and quality of services provided by DIMA and DeAMI under the agreements and noted that the scope of services provided had expanded over time as a result of regulatory and other developments. The directors noted that, for example, DIMA is responsible </font><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">for maintaining and monitoring its own and the Fund's compliance programs, and these compliance programs have in recent years been refined and enhanced in light of evolving regulatory requirements. The directors considered the quality of the investment research capabilities of DIMA and DeAMI and the other resources they have dedicated to performing services for the Fund. The quality of administrative and other services, including DIMA's role in coordinating the activities of the Fund's other service providers, also were considered. The directors concluded that, overall, they were satisfied w
ith the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to the Fund under the agreements.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><b>Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to DIMA and DeAMI</b></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">At the request of the directors, DIMA provided information concerning profitability of DIMA's and DeAMI's respective investment advisory and investment company activities and their financial condition based on historical information for 2004 and 2005. The directors reviewed with DIMA assumptions and methods of allocation used by DIMA and DeAMI in preparing Fund specific profitability data. DIMA stated its belief that the methods of allocation used were reasonable, but it noted that there are limitations inherent in allocating costs to multiple individual advisory clients served by an organization such as DIMA and DeAMI where each of the advisory clients draws on, and benefits from, the research and other resources of the Deutsche Bank organization. The directors recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund management contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affecte
d by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the adviser's capital structure and cost of capital. In considering profitability information, the directors considered the effect of possible fall-out benefits, on DIMA's and DeAMI's expenses, including any affiliated brokerage commissions.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">The directors noted that during 2003 and 2004 DIMA discontinued using soft dollars to receive third party research </font></p>

<p align="left"><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><b>INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND<BR>INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT APPROVAL (continued)</b></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">from brokers that execute purchases and sales of securities for us, and revised their policies to prohibit consideration of the sale of shares of DWS Scudder funds when selecting broker dealers to execute portfolio transactions for the Fund or other DWS Scudder funds. DIMA and DeAMI may continue to allocate brokerage to receive research generated by executing brokers and to receive other information services.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">The directors recognized that DIMA and DeAMI should, in the abstract, each be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for the services it provides to the Fund and, based on their review, concluded that DIMA's and DeAMI's levels of profitability from their relationships with the Fund were not excessive.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><b>Investment Results</b></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">In addition to the information received by the directors for the meeting, the directors receive detailed performance information for the Fund at each regular board meeting during the year. The directors reviewed information showing the Fund's performance compared to that of other European Closed End Funds compiled by Lipper (a total of 9 funds, including us). The directors also reviewed information showing performance of the Fund's benchmark index, which since November 1, 2005 (when the Fund changed its investment focus from Germany to the European countries utilizing the Euro currency) was the MSCI EMU index, an unmanaged capitalization-weighted index comprising several hundred companies domiciled in the 12 countries using the Euro currency, and prior thereto was the Germany DAX index of 30 large cap stocks.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">The comparative information showed that the Fund ranked in or near the bottom third for the one-, three- , five- and 10- year periods ended March 31, 2006. As noted above, the Fund changed its investment focus from Germany to Europe on November 1, 2006. The Fund's results were positive in absolute terms, and exceeded its benchmark in the fourth quarter of 2005 and the first quarter of 2006. Taking into account these comparisons and the other factors considered, including the favorable performance since the Fund's change in focus to Europe, the directors concluded it was reasonable to continue the Agreements.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><b>Management and Investment Advisory Fees and Other Expenses</b></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">The directors considered the management and investment advisory fee rates paid by the Fund to DIMA and DeAMI. The directors recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of management and advisory fees because there are variations in the services that are included in the fees paid by other funds. The Fund's expense comparison group consisted of 35 closed end country funds. The information showed that the Fund's current effective management fee rate of 0.832% was in the lowest third of the comparison group. The directors noted that the Fund's effective fee rate reflects the effect of breakpoints. The directors also considered the Fund's total expense ratio in comparison to the fees and expenses of funds within the comparison group. The directors recognized that the expense ratio information for the Fund potentially reflected on DIMA's provision of services, as DIMA is responsible for coordinating services provided to the Fund by others.
 The directors also noted that the Fund's expense ratio was in the middle third of the comparison group. The directors concluded that the Fund's expense ratio was satisfactory.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><b>Economies of Scale</b></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">The directors noted that the Fund's management fee and investment advisory schedules do contain breakpoints that reduce the fee rate on assets above specified levels. The directors recognized that breakpoints may be an appropriate way for DIMA and DeAMI to share their economies of scale with some funds that have substantial assets or that may grow materially over the next year. However, they also recognized that there is no direct relationship between the economies of scale realized by funds and those realized by DIMA and DeAMI as assets increase, largely because economies of scale are realized (if at all) by DIMA and DeAMI across a variety of products and services, and not only in respect of a single fund. Having taken these factors into account, the directors concluded that the Fund's breakpoint arrangements were acceptable under the Fund's circumstances.</font></p>

The Fund has delegated proxy voting to the advisor with the direction that proxies should be voted consistent with the Fund&#146;s best economic interests. The advisor has adopted its own Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures (&#147;Policies&#148;), a Proxy Voting Desktop Manual (&#147;Manual&#148;), and Proxy Voting Guidelines (&#147;Guidelines&#148;) for this purpose. The Policies address, among other things, conflicts of interest that may arise between the interests of the Fund, and the interests of the advisor and its affiliates. The Manual sets forth the procedures that the advisor has implemented to vote proxies, including monitoring for
corporate events, communicating with the fund&#146;s custodian regarding proxies, considering the merits f each proposal, and executing and recording the proxy vote. The Guidelines set forth the advisor&#146;s general position on various proposals, such as:</font></p>

Before voting any such proxy, however, the committee will exclude from the voting discussions and determinations any member who is involved in or aware of a material conflict of interest. If, after excluding any and all such members, there are fewer than three voting members remaining, the advisor will engage an independent third party to vote the proxy or follow the proxy voting recommendations of an independent third party.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt;text-align:left;'><font size=2>The Investment Advisor&#146;s portfolio managers make recommendations to the Investment Manager&#146;s portfolio managers with respect to the Fund&#146;s investments; the Investment Manager&#146;s portfolio managers determine which securities are suitable for the Fund&#146;s investment. Upon instructions given by the Investment Manager&#146;s portfolio managers as to which securities are suitable for investment, the Investment Advisor&#146;s portfolio managers transmit purchase and sale orders and select brokers and dealers to execute portfolio transactions on the Fund&#146;s behalf.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:3pt; margin-top:12pt;text-align:left;'><b><font size=2>Compensation of Portfolio Managers </font></b></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:14pt; margin-top:0pt;text-align:left;'><font size=2>The Fund has been advised that the Investment Manager and Investment Advisor seek to offer its investment professionals competitive short-term and long-term compensation.  Portfolio managers and research professionals are paid (i) base salaries, which are linked to job function, responsibilities and financial services industry peer comparison, and (ii) variable compensation, which are linked to investment performance, individual contributions to the team and DWS Scudder&#146;s and Deutsche Bank&#146;s financial results.  Variable compensation may include a cash bonus incentive and participation in a variety of long-term equity programs (usually in the form of Deutsche Bank equity). </font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:14pt; margin-top:0pt;text-align:left;'><font size=2>Bonus and long-term incentives comprise a greater proportion of total compensation as an investment professional&#146;s seniority and compensation levels increase.  Top performing investment professionals earn a total compensation package that is highly competitive, including a bonus that is a multiple of their base salary.  The amount of equity awarded under the long-term equity programs is generally based on the individual&#146;s total compensation package and may comprise from 0%-40% of the total compensation award.  As incentive compensation increases, the percentage of compensation awarded in Deutsche Bank equity also increases.  Certain senior investment professionals may be subject to a mandatory diverting of a portion of their equity compensation into proprietary mutual funds that they manage. </font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:14pt; margin-top:0pt;text-align:left;'><font size=2>To evaluate its investment professionals, the Investment Manager and Investment Advisor use a Performance Management Process.  Objectives evaluated by the process are related to investment performance and generally take into account peer group and benchmark related data.  The ultimate goal of this process is to link the performance of investment professionals with client investment objectives and to deliver investment performance that meets or exceeds clients&#146; risk and return objectives.  When determining total compensation, the Investment Manager and Investment Advisor consider a number of quantitative and qualitative factors such as: </font></p>

I.       Overview

         This Principal  Executive Officer and Principal  Financial Officer Code
         of Ethics  ("Officer  Code") sets forth the  policies,  practices,  and
         values  expected  to be  exhibited  in the  conduct  of  the  Principal
         Executive  Officers and Principal  Financial Officers of the investment
         companies ("Funds") they serve ("Covered Officers").  A list of Covered
         Officers and Funds is included on Appendix A.

         The Boards of the Funds  listed on Appendix A have elected to implement
         the Officer Code,  pursuant to Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
         2002 and the SEC's rules thereunder,  to promote and demonstrate honest
         and ethical conduct in their Covered Officers.

         Deutsche Asset  Management,  Inc. or its affiliates  ("DeAM") serves as
         the  investment  adviser to each Fund.  All Covered  Officers  are also
         employees of DeAM or an affiliate. Thus, in addition to adhering to the
         Officer  Code,  these  individuals  must comply with DeAM  policies and
         procedures,  such as the DeAM Code of Ethics governing personal trading
         activities,  as adopted  pursuant  to Rule 17j-1  under the  Investment
         Company Act of 1940.(1) In addition,  such individuals also must comply
         with other applicable Fund policies and procedures.

         The DeAM Compliance Officer, who shall not be a Covered Officer and who
         shall serve as such  subject to the  approval  of the Fund's  Board (or
         committee  thereof),  is primarily  responsible  for  implementing  and
         enforcing  this Code.  The  Compliance  Officer  has the  authority  to
         interpret  this  Officer  Code  and  its  applicability  to  particular
         circumstances.  Any questions about the Officer Code should be directed
         to the DeAM Compliance Officer.

         The DeAM Compliance  Officer and his or her contact  information can be
         found in Appendix A.

II.      Purposes of the Officer Code

         The purposes of the Officer Code are to deter wrongdoing and to:

         o        promote  honest and ethical  conduct among  Covered  Officers,
                  including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts
                  of interest between personal and professional relationships;

         o        promote  full,  fair,  accurate,   timely  and  understandable
                  disclosures  in reports and documents that the Funds file with
                  or submit to the SEC (and in other public  communications from
                  the  Funds)  and  that  are  within  the   Covered   Officer's
                  responsibilities;

         o        promote   compliance   with   applicable   laws,   rules   and
                  regulations;

         o        encourage the prompt  internal  reporting of violations of the
                  Officer Code to the DeAM Compliance Officer; and

         o        establish accountability for adherence to the Officer Code.

         Any  questions  about the  Officer  Code  should be  referred to DeAM's
         Compliance Officer.

- --------

(1) The  obligations  imposed by the  Officer  Code are  separate  from,  and in
addition to, any obligations  imposed under codes of ethics adopted  pursuant to
Rule  17j-1  under the  Investment  Company  Act of 1940,  and any other code of
conduct  applicable to Covered  Officers in whatever  capacity  they serve.  The
Officer  Code does not  incorporate  any of those other codes and,  accordingly,
violations of those codes will not  necessarily be considered  violations of the
Officer Code and waivers granted under those codes would not necessarily require
a waiver to be granted under this Code.  Sanctions imposed under those codes may
be considered  in  determining  appropriate  sanctions for any violation of this
Code.

III.     Responsibilities of Covered Officers

         A.       Honest and Ethical Conduct

         It is the duty of every Covered  Officer to encourage  and  demonstrate
         honest and ethical conduct,  as well as adhere to and require adherence
         to the Officer Code and any other  applicable  policies and  procedures
         designed to promote this behavior.  Covered  Officers must at all times
         conduct  themselves with integrity and  distinction,  putting first the
         interests of the Fund(s) they serve.  Covered  Officers  must be honest
         and candid  while  maintaining  confidentiality  of  information  where
         required by law, DeAM policy or Fund policy.

         Covered   Officers  also  must,  at  all  times,  act  in  good  faith,
         responsibly  and with  due  care,  competence  and  diligence,  without
         misrepresenting  or being  misleading  about material facts or allowing
         their  independent  judgment to be subordinated.  Covered Officers also
         should maintain skills appropriate and necessary for the performance of
         their duties for the Fund(s).  Covered  Officers also must  responsibly
         use and control all Fund assets and resources entrusted to them.

         Covered  Officers may not  retaliate  against  others for, or otherwise
         discourage  the  reporting  of,  actual or apparent  violations  of the
         Officer Code or applicable laws or regulations. Covered Officers should
         create an  environment  that  encourages  the exchange of  information,
         including concerns of the type that this Code is designed to address.

         B.       Conflicts of Interest

         A  "conflict  of  interest"  occurs when a Covered  Officer's  personal
         interests  interfere with the interests of the Fund for which he or she
         serves as an officer.  Covered  Officers may not  improperly  use their
         position with a Fund for personal or private gain to themselves,  their
         family,  or any other person.  Similarly,  Covered Officers may not use
         their  personal  influence  or  personal   relationships  to  influence
         decisions  or other Fund  business or  operational  matters  where they
         would  benefit  personally  at the  Fund's  expense  or to  the  Fund's
         detriment.  Covered Officers may not cause the Fund to take action,  or
         refrain from taking action,  for their  personal  benefit at the Fund's
         expense or to the Fund's  detriment.  Some  examples  of  conflicts  of
         interest  follow  (this  is not an  all-inclusive  list):  being in the
         position of  supervising,  reviewing or having any influence on the job
         evaluation,  pay or benefit of any  immediate  family  member who is an
         employee of a Fund service provider or is otherwise associated with the
         Fund; or having an ownership  interest in, or having any  consulting or
         employment relationship with, any Fund service provider other than DeAM
         or its affiliates.

         Certain  conflicts  of  interest  covered by this Code arise out of the
         relationships  between  Covered  Officers and the Fund that already are
         subject to conflict of interest  provisions in the  Investment  Company
         Act and the Investment Advisers Act. For example,  Covered Officers may
         not individually  engage in certain  transactions (such as the purchase
         or sale of securities or other property) with the Fund because of their
         status as  "affiliated  persons"  of the Fund.  Covered  Officers  must
         comply with applicable laws and regulations.  Therefore, any violations
         of  existing  statutory  and  regulatory   prohibitions  on  individual
         behavior could be considered a violation of this Code.

         As  to  conflicts  arising  from,  or  as  a  result  of  the  advisory
         relationship (or any other relationships) between the Fund and DeAM, of
         which the  Covered  Officers  are also  officers  or  employees,  it is
         recognized by the Board that, subject to DeAM's fiduciary duties to the
         Fund,  the Covered  Officers  will in the normal course of their duties
         (whether formally for the Fund or for DeAM, or for both) be involved in
         establishing  policies  and  implementing  decisions  which  will  have
         different  effects on


                                       4
<PAGE>

         DeAM and the Fund. The Board  recognizes that the  participation of the
         Covered  Officers  in  such  activities  is  inherent  in the  contract
         relationship  between  the Fund and DeAM,  and is  consistent  with the
         expectation of the Board of the performance by the Covered  Officers of
         their duties as officers of the Fund.

         Covered  Officers  should  avoid  actual  conflicts  of  interest,  and
         appearances  of conflicts of  interest,  between the Covered  Officer's
         duties  to the  Fund and his or her  personal  interests  beyond  those
         contemplated  or anticipated  by applicable  regulatory  schemes.  If a
         Covered  Officer  suspects or knows of a conflict or an  appearance  of
         one, the Covered Officer must immediately report the matter to the DeAM
         Compliance  Officer.  If a Covered Officer, in lieu of reporting such a
         matter to the DeAM Compliance  Officer,  may report the matter directly
         to the Fund's Board (or committee  thereof),  as appropriate  (e.g., if
         the  conflict  involves  the DeAM  Compliance  Officer  or the  Covered
         Officer reasonably  believes it would be futile to report the matter to
         the DeAM Compliance Officer).

         When  actual,  apparent or  suspected  conflicts  of interest  arise in
         connection with a Covered  Officer,  DeAM personnel aware of the matter
         should promptly contact the DeAM Compliance  Officer.  There will be no
         reprisal or retaliation against the person reporting the matter.

         Upon receipt of a report of a possible  conflict,  the DeAM  Compliance
         Officer will take steps to determine  whether a conflict exists.  In so
         doing,  the DeAM  Compliance  Officer  may take any  actions  he or she
         determines to be appropriate in his or her sole  discretion and may use
         all  reasonable  resources,   including  retaining  or  engaging  legal
         counsel,  accounting firms or other consultants,  subject to applicable
         law.(2)  The costs  associated  with such  actions  may be borne by the
         Fund,  if  appropriate,  after  consultation  with the Fund's Board (or
         committee  thereof).  Otherwise,  such  costs  will be borne by DeAM or
         other appropriate Fund service provider.

         After full review of a report of a possible  conflict of interest,  the
         DeAM  Compliance  Officer may determine  that no conflict or reasonable
         appearance  of a conflict  exists.  If,  however,  the DeAM  Compliance
         Officer  determines  that an actual  conflict  exists,  the  Compliance
         Officer will resolve the conflict  solely in the interests of the Fund,
         and will report the conflict and its resolution to the Fund's Board (or
         committee thereof).  If the DeAM Compliance Officer determines that the
         appearance of a conflict exists,  the DeAM Compliance Officer will take
         appropriate  steps to remedy such  appearance.  In lieu of  determining
         whether  a  conflict  exists  and/or  resolving  a  conflict,  the DeAM
         Compliance Officer instead may refer the matter to the Fund's Board (or
         committee  thereof),  as  appropriate.  However,  the  DeAM  Compliance
         Officer  must  refer the  matter  to the  Fund's  Board  (or  committee
         thereof) if the DeAM  Compliance  Officer is  directly  involved in the
         conflict or under similar appropriate circumstances.

         After  responding to a report of a possible  conflict of interest,  the
         DeAM  Compliance  Officer  will  discuss  the  matter  with the  person
         reporting it (and with the Covered  Officer at issue, if different) for
         purposes  of  educating   those  involved  on  conflicts  of  interests
         (including how to detect and avoid them, if appropriate).

         Appropriate   resolution   of  conflicts   may  restrict  the  personal
         activities of the Covered  Officer and/or his family,  friends or other
         persons.

         Solely because a conflict is disclosed to the DeAM  Compliance  Officer
         (and/or the Board or  Committee  thereof)  and/or  resolved by the DeAM
         Compliance  Officer does not mean that the  conflict or its  resolution
         constitutes a waiver from the Code's requirements.


- --------

(2) For  example,  retaining a Fund's  independent  accounting  firm may require
pre-approval by the Fund's audit committee.


                                       5
<PAGE>

         Any  questions  about  conflicts  of  interests,  including  whether  a
         particular  situation  might be a  conflict  or an  appearance  of one,
         should be directed to the DeAM Compliance Officer.

         C.       Use of Personal Fund Shareholder Information

         A Covered Officer may not use or disclose  personal  information  about
         Fund  shareholders,  except in the performance of his or her duties for
         the Fund. Each Covered Officer also must abide by the Funds' and DeAM's
         privacy policies under SEC Regulation S-P.

         D.       Public Communications

         In connection with his or her  responsibilities for or involvement with
         a  Fund's  public   communications  and  disclosure   documents  (e.g.,
         shareholder reports,  registration  statements,  press releases),  each
         Covered  Officer must  provide  information  to Fund service  providers
         (within the DeAM  organization  or  otherwise)  and to the Fund's Board
         (and  any  committees  thereof),   independent   auditors,   government
         regulators and  self-regulatory  organizations that is fair,  accurate,
         complete, objective, relevant, timely and understandable.

         Further,  within the scope of their  duties,  Covered  Officers  having
         direct or supervisory authority over Fund disclosure documents or other
         public Fund communications will, to the extent appropriate within their
         area of responsibility, endeavor to ensure full, fair, timely, accurate
         and  understandable  disclosure  in  Fund  disclosure  documents.  Such
         Covered Officers will oversee, or appoint others to oversee,  processes
         for the timely and accurate  creation and review of all public  reports
         and regulatory filings. Within the scope of his or her responsibilities
         as a Covered  Officer,  each  Covered  Officer  also  will  familiarize
         himself or herself with the disclosure  requirements  applicable to the
         Fund,  as well as the business and  financial  operations  of the Fund.
         Each Covered  Officer  also will adhere to, and will promote  adherence
         to, applicable disclosure controls, processes and procedures, including
         DeAM's Disclosure Controls and Procedures,  which govern the process by
         which Fund disclosure documents are created and reviewed.

         To the extent that Covered  Officers  participate  in the creation of a
         Fund's  books or records,  they must do so in a way that  promotes  the
         accuracy, fairness and timeliness of those records.

         E.       Compliance with Applicable Laws, Rules and Regulations

         In connection with his or her duties and within the scope of his or her
         responsibilities as a Covered Officer, each Covered Officer must comply
         with governmental  laws, rules and regulations,  accounting  standards,
         and  Fund   policies/procedures   that   apply  to  his  or  her  role,
         responsibilities  and duties  with  respect  to the Funds  ("Applicable
         Laws").  These  requirements  do not  impose on  Covered  Officers  any
         additional  substantive duties.  Additionally,  Covered Officers should
         promote compliance with Applicable Laws.

         If a Covered  Officer  knows of any material  violations  of Applicable
         Laws or suspects that such a violation may have  occurred,  the Covered
         Officer  is  expected  to  promptly  report  the  matter  to  the  DeAM
         Compliance Officer.

IV.      Violation Reporting

         A.       Overview

         Each  Covered  Officer  must  promptly  report  to the DeAM  Compliance
         Officer,   and  promote  the  reporting  of,  any  known  or  suspected
         violations of the Officer Code.  Failure to report a violation may be a
         violation of the Officer Code.

         Examples of violations of the Officer Code include, but are not limited
         to, the following:

         o        Unethical or dishonest behavior

         o        Obvious lack of adherence to policies  surrounding  review and
                  approval of public  communications  and  regulatory  filings

         o        Failure to report violations of the Officer Code

         o        Known or obvious  deviations from Applicable Laws

         o        Failure to  acknowledge  and certify  adherence to the Officer
                  Code

         The  DeAM  Compliance  Officer  has the  authority  to take any and all
         action he or she considers appropriate in his or her sole discretion to
         investigate  known or suspected Code violations,  including  consulting
         with  the  Fund's  Board,  the  independent  Board  members,   a  Board
         committee,  the Fund's legal counsel and/or counsel to the  independent
         Board members. The Compliance Officer also has the authority to use all
         reasonable resources to investigate violations,  including retaining or
         engaging legal counsel, accounting firms or other consultants,  subject
         to  applicable  law.(3) The costs  associated  with such actions may be
         borne by the Fund, if appropriate,  after  consultation with the Fund's
         Board (or committee  thereof).  Otherwise,  such costs will be borne by
         DeAM.


         B.       How to Report

         Any known or suspected  violations of the Officer Code must be promptly
         reported to the DeAM Compliance Officer.

         C.       Process for Violation Reporting to the Fund Board

         The DeAM Compliance  Officer will promptly report any violations of the
         Code to the Fund's Board (or committee thereof).

         D.       Sanctions for Code Violations

         Violations of the Code will be taken seriously. In response to reported
         or otherwise known  violations,  DeAM and the relevant Fund's Board may
         impose sanctions  within the scope of their  respective  authority over
         the Covered Officer at issue.  Sanctions  imposed by DeAM could include
         termination  of employment.  Sanctions  imposed by a Fund's Board could
         include termination of association with the Fund.

         V.       Waivers from the Officer Code

         A  Covered  Officer  may  request  a waiver  from the  Officer  Code by
         transmitting  a written  request  for a waiver  to the DeAM  Compliance
         Officer.(4)  The request must include the rationale for the request and
         must explain how the waiver would be in furtherance of the standards of
         conduct  described in and underlying  purposes of the Officer Code. The
         DeAM  Compliance  Officer will present this  information


- --------

(3) For  example,  retaining a Fund's  independent  accounting  firm may require
pre-approval by the Fund's audit committee.

(4) Of course,  it is not a waiver of the Officer  Code if the Fund's  Board (or
committee thereof)  determines that a matter is not a deviation from the Officer
Code's requirements or is otherwise not covered by the Code.


                                       7
<PAGE>

         to the Fund's Board (or committee  thereof).  The Board (or  committee)
         will determine  whether to grant the requested waiver. If the Board (or
         committee)  grants the requested  waiver,  the DeAM Compliance  Officer
         thereafter  will  monitor  the  activities  subject to the  waiver,  as
         appropriate, and will promptly report to the Fund's Board (or committee
         thereof) regarding such activities, as appropriate.

         The DeAM Compliance Officer will coordinate and facilitate any required
         public disclosures of any waivers granted or any implicit waivers.

VI.      Amendments to the Code

         The DeAM  Compliance  Officer will review the Officer Code from time to
         time for its continued  appropriateness and will propose any amendments
         to the  Fund's  Board (or  committee  thereof)  on a timely  basis.  In
         addition, the Board (or committee thereof) will review the Officer Code
         at least annually for its continued  appropriateness  and may amend the
         Code as necessary or appropriate.

         The DeAM Compliance Officer will coordinate and facilitate any required
         public disclosures of Code amendments.

VII.     Acknowledgement and Certification of Adherence to the Officer Code

         Each  Covered  Officer  must sign a  statement  upon  appointment  as a
         Covered Officer and annually  thereafter  acknowledging  that he or she
         has  received  and read the Officer  Code,  as amended or updated,  and
         confirming  that  he or she has  complied  with  it  (see  Appendix  B:
         Acknowledgement  and  Certification  of  Obligations  Under the Officer
         Code).

         Understanding  and  complying  with the  Officer  Code  and  truthfully
         completing the  Acknowledgement  and Certification Form is each Covered
         Officer's obligation.

         The DeAM Compliance Officer will maintain such  Acknowledgements in the
         Fund's books and records.

VIII.    Scope of Responsibilities

         A Covered Officer's responsibilities under the Officer Code are limited
         to:

         (1)      Fund matters over which the Officer has direct  responsibility
                  or   control,   matters   in  which  the   Officer   routinely
                  participates,  and matters with which the Officer is otherwise
                  involved  (i.e.,  matters  within  the  scope  of the  Covered
                  Officer's  responsibilities  as a Fund officer);  and

         (2)      Fund matters of which the Officer has actual knowledge.


IX.      Recordkeeping

         The DeAM  Compliance  Officer  will  create  and  maintain  appropriate
         records regarding the implementation and operation of the Officer Code,
         including records relating to conflicts of interest  determinations and
         investigations of possible Code violations.

X.       Confidentiality

         All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Officer
         Code  shall be  considered  confidential  and shall be  maintained  and
         protected  accordingly.  Except as  otherwise  required  by law or this
         Officer Code,  such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than
         the DeAM Compliance  Officer,  the Fund's Board (or committee thereof),
         legal counsel, independent auditors, and any consultants engaged by the
         Compliance Officer.

         1.       I  acknowledge  and certify that I am a Covered  Officer under
                  the Scudder Fund  Principal  Executive and  Financial  Officer

         4.       I have not knowingly been a party to any conflict of interest,
                  nor have I had  actual  knowledge  about  actual  or  apparent
                  conflicts  of  interest  that I did  not  report  to the  DeAM
                  Compliance  Officer  in  accordance  with the  Officer  Code's

                  supervision for compliance with Applicable Laws.

         8.       I have  reported  any  known or  suspected  violations  of the
