            <p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">In the second quarter, global stock market performance was characterized by high volatility. Following aggressive policy measures by the US Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) to support the US financial sector in March, tension in the credit markets continued to ease and stock markets recovered until mid-May. From then on, however, stock markets declined based on a combination of renewed tensions in credit markets, negative indications for
            growth, and accelerating inflation. Important leading indicators, such as the German Ifo Business Climate Index, continued to signal a slowdown of growth, while consumer confidence continued to weaken, particularly in the US, UK, Spain, Italy, and &mdash; to a smaller extent &mdash; Germany.<sup>1</sup> At the same time, commodity prices continued to rise significantly despite indications of slowing growth. Oil prices increased by some 34% over the quarter, reaching a record level
            of $140 per barrel at the en d of June 2008. Inflation accelerated on a global scale, reaching 4.0% year-over-year in the Eurozone in June.<sup>2</sup> With reference to the threat of further accelerating inflation and despite the weakening outlook for growth, the European Central Bank (ECB) signaled a rate increase for July, which was a further burden for stock markets.</font></p>

            <p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">For the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, the European Equity Fund's total return was -12.47% based on net asset value and -15.19% based on share price. During the same period, the total return of the Fund's benchmark, the MSCI-EMU, was -14.92%.<sup>2</sup></font></p>

            <p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">In the second quarter of 2008, the Fund's outperformance was mainly attributable to stock selection effects, particularly from the small-cap segment of the Fund. While allocation decisions played a lesser role in this quarter's performance, investments in the ex-benchmark countries Norway and Switzerland added to results from a regional perspective. On a single-stock basis, the largest positive contributions in the quarter were provided by
            holdings in Bauer, K+S and Fortum. Summarizing the Fund's structure on a country level, Germany is still the Fund's largest overweight, but to a lesser extent than in the first quarter.<sup>3</sup> Additions in Spain turned the Fund's position to an overweight in the second quarter. The biggest underweight by far continues to be France, even though we increased the exposure there, followed by Italy and the Benelux countries. Switzerland and Norway are the two countries we continue
            to prefer outside the ben chmark universe.</font></p>

            <p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">From a sector perspective, over the second quarter, we increased the Fund's financials and materials weightings while reducing technology holdings. We continued to underweight consumer goods, banks and financial services, while the largest overweight sectors in the Fund are industrials, technology, and health care. In the industrials sector, we sold two of the Fund's small cap holdings, Metso and D+S Europe, and reduced a position in Siemens.
            We added three new holdings in the sector, emphasizing infrastructure and oil-related themes: Spanish Obrascon Huarte for its growth in the concession business; the Italian foundation engineering company Trevi Finanziaria; and Vestas Wind Systems, the wind turbine manufacturer from Denmark. The overweight in the technology sector was significantly reduced as we sold the Fund's holdings in SAP, Inficon and Smartrac. In the health care sector, the Fund's overweight and holdings were
            unchanged. Within this defensive sector, we continued to favor Swiss Lonza Group, which is less exposed to GDP trends and raw material cycles and benefits from global trends towards outsourcing in the (bio)pharma industry, and Spanish Grifols, the manufacturer of high-quality blood products purified from blood plasma. Within the energy sector, where the Fund's overweight remained the same, we shifted the relative preference from OMV and Statoil, both of which we sold, to
            the</font></p>

            <p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">oil major Total, now a neutral position, and added Norwegian oil service firm Aker Solutions ASA. Related to the dynamics in the energy sector we have emphasized utilities that benefit most from an increasing spread between the electricity prices they can charge and the production cost &mdash; a function of the power generation mix, favoring "clean" or "green" energy sources. While the Fund's utility sector weight remains neutral, over the
            quarter we added Iberdrola Renovables, the renewable energy arm of Spanish Iberdrola. We further added Suez as a neutral-weight position. Telecom is now represented in the Fund by only two holdings, resulting in a slightly underweight overall sector position: Telefonica, which we increased, and Telekom Austria. We eliminated the Fund's position in Hellenic Telecom after Deutsche Telekom took a controlling stake. In the materials sector, we added K+S again, but maintained an
            underweight position in the secto r as we are cautious about the repercussions of the economic slowdown on this typically cyclical space. The Fund's holdings in the financial sector continued to be underweight with a preference for insurance companies, which we accentuated further by adding Dutch Aegon to the Fund. While still fairly underweight in banks and diversified financials, we took a first gradual step to position for a turnaround in the sector by adding UBS AG. We also
            bought National Bank of Greece and DnB NOR, two new positions that are in line with our preferred low-risk approach favoring well-capitalized banks in countries where customers are underleveraged. On the other hand, we sold Hellenic Exchanges as their operational trends have been deteriorating rapidly and reduced UniCredito Italiano SpA, which we still like but where headwinds continue. Within the underweighted consumer sectors the most significant change over the second quarter was
            the sale of most of the Fund's holding in Continental, and addition of Nokian Renkaat of Finland.</font></p>

            <p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">The European Equity Fund purchased 8,500 of its shares in the open market during the 2nd quarter of 2008. The Fund's discount to net asset value averaged 11.79% for the fiscal 2nd quarter ending June 30, 2008, compared with 7.37% for the same period last year.</font></p>

            <p><font face="Times New Roman" size="1"><sup>1</sup>&nbsp;&nbsp;The Ifo Business Climate Index is a closely watched indicator of German business conditions, based on a monthly survey of about 7,000 companies. It is widely seen as a barometer for economic conditions in the whole of the Eurozone, which is a term used to describe the countries that joined the third stage of EMU and adopted the euro.</font></p>

            <p><font face="Times New Roman" size="1"><sup>2</sup>&nbsp;&nbsp;The MSCI-EMU Index is an unmanaged capitalization weighted index that is comprised of more than 300 stocks of companies domiciled in the countries utilizing the Euro currency. MSCI indices are calculated using closing local market prices and converted to US dollars using the London close foreign exchange rates. Index returns assume reinvested dividends and, unlike Fund returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. It
            is not possible to invest directly into an index.</font></p>

            <p><font face="Times New Roman" size="1"><sup>3</sup>&nbsp;&nbsp;"Overweight" means the Fund holds a higher weighting in a given sector or security than the benchmark. "Underweight" means the Fund holds a lower weighting.</font></p>

            <p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><b><i>Question:</i></b><b>How is the economy in France faring after president Nicolas Sarkozy took office last year?</b></font></p>

            <p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><b><i>Answer:</i></b></font> <font face="Times New Roman" size="2">Since taking office, Sarkozy proposed constitutional reforms, dealt with civilian's issues and other public sectors. Given the global economic crisis, the French economy's outlook is no better than elsewhere in the region. However, the recent rise of inflation in France is not as large as with other Eurozone countries. The drop of consumer sentiment was primarily due to
            weakening prospects for housing prices and a deterioration of wage growth. Export forecasts for 2008 and 2009 are weak and do not suggest signs of improvement or recovery until 2010. France was the second-largest country weighting for European Equity Fund ending second quarter of 2008, accounting for 20%. As of the end of the period, we were underweight the country relative to the fund's MSCI EMU benchmark and continued to focus on stock selection.</font></p>

            <p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><b><i>Question:</i></b><b>Climate change has been a key focus of governments and investors lately. How is this issue impacting European countries, and how is the Fund positioned to take advantage of the heightened interest in climate change?</b></font></p>

            <p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><b><i>Answer:</i></b></font> <font face="Times New Roman" size="2">Climate change is accelerating around the world. What we see today are only the early signs of climate change and the result of past greenhouse gas emissions. European countries are starting to take action to prevent climate change from reaching catastrophic dimensions later this century. Recently the European Commission adopted its first policy document on dealing with the
            impacts of climate change. In light of rising energy prices, some utility companies have to seek alternative energy to generate power and to increase efficiency. And companies in the industrial sector are also eager to adapt policies to improve efficiency. The European Equity Fund currently owns Solarworld and Vestas Wind Systems in this regard. In general, the fund is overweight relative to its benchmark in the energy and industrial sectors and market weight in the utility secto
            r.</font></p>

            <p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><b><i>Question:</i></b><b>In light of the recent market sell-off, how do European stocks look at the current level?</b></font></p>

            <p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><b><i>Answer:</i></b></font> <font face="Times New Roman" size="2">During the first six months of 2008, most European indices declined by mid teen to mid 20% levels. We believe the equity market in Europe is trading at a reasonable valuation compared to six months ago. Despite the economic slowdown, heightened inflation concerns and weak consumer sentiments, we view this as a transitional economic cycle, which may pass in the medium term. The
            forecast of real GDP growth in Europe (except Italy and Ireland) is likely to exceed real GDP growth in the US for 2008 and 2009. In our view, many European economies are in a better position compared to the US economy for a recovery over the next few years.</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">Market sentiment remains dominated by fears of inflation and slower economic growth. These concerns were fuelled by the price rally in commodities and in particular by the record high oil and agricultural prices witnessed during the second quarter. The consumer price index proved investors right, increasing 4% year-on-year as of June, while GDP shows a modest deceleration to +2.1% year-on-year as of March 2008. As a result, we observed a
            continuing deterioration in valuation levels that now have breached the bottom of our range-bound expectation for market levels. Nevertheless, we expect that markets will broadly stay within these bounds, which is fundamentally based on the view of risk premia and volatility returning to their normal levels while we believe current valuation levels will require incremental bad news for the market to fall meaningfully further. Despite waning consumer and business confidence
            indicators, the labor market remain s in good health.The European Central Bank (ECB) stated they will raise interest rates by quarter point to 4.25% during early July.</font></p>

            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS &mdash; JUNE 30, 2008 (unaudited)</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. (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.</font></p>

            <p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("FAS 157"), which governs the application of generally accepted accounting principles that require fair value measurements of the Fund's assets and liabilities. Fair value is an estimate of the price the Fund would receive upon selling a security in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or
            most advantageous market of the security. FAS 157 established a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation</font>
            <font face="Times New Roman" size="2">technique used to measure fair value including such a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting
            entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.</font></p>

            <p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels as follows:</font></p>

            <p align="left"><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">&bull; Level 1 &mdash; quoted prices in active markets for identical securities</font></p>

            <p align="left"><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">&bull; Level 2 &mdash; other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)</font></p>

            <p align="left"><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">&bull; Level 3 &mdash; significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)</font></p>

            <p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">For Level 1 inputs, the Fund uses unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for assets or liabilities with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information as the most reliable evidence of fair value. The Fund's Level 2 valuation techniques include inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 observable inputs may include quoted prices for
            similar assets and liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active in which there are few transactions, the prices are not current, or price quotations vary substantially over time or among market participants. Inputs that are observable for the asset or liability in Level 2 include such factors as interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, credit risk, and default rates for similar liabilities. For
            Level 3 valuation techni ques, the Fund uses unobservable inputs that reflect assumptions market participants would be expected to use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are used to measure fair value to the extent that observable</font></p>

            <p><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">The Fund may record changes to valuations based on the amount that might reasonably be expected to receive for a security upon its current sale consistent with the fair value measurement objective. Each determination is based on a consideration of all relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. Examples of such factors may include, but are not limited to the type of the security, the existence of any

            the security is purchased and sold, and with respect to debt securities, the maturity, coupon, creditworthiness, currency denomination, and the movement of the market in which the security is normally traded. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value determined upon sale of those investments.</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 lends 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" of the value of the securities loaned. "Margin Percentage" shall mean (i) for collateral which is</font> <font face="Times New Roman" size="2">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 pursuant to Exemptive Orders issued by the SEC. Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. receives a management fee (.07% annualized effective rate as of June 30, 2008) on the cash collateral invested in the affiliated money fund. 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, and a portion of the interest that is paid to the
            borrower of the securities. 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 Translations:</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 foreign currency are translated into United States 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 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"><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 occurred. 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>Federal Income Taxes:</i></b></font> <font face="Times New Roman" size="2">The Fund's policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, which are applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Fund paid no federal income taxes and no federal income tax provision was required.</font></p>

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.

The Manager also provides office facilities and certain administrative, clerical and bookkeeping services for the Fund. Pursuant to the Investment
            Advisory Agreement, the Investment Adviser, in accordance with the Fund's stated investment objectives, policies and restrictions, makes recommendations to the Manager with respect to the Fund's investments and, upon instructions given by the Manager as to suitable securities for investment by the Fund, transmits purchase and sale orders, and selects brokers and dealers to execute portfolio transactions on behalf of the Fund.</font></p>
