<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">long-term</FONT> capital appreciation through investment primarily in equity and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">equity-linked</FONT> securities of issuers domiciled in Europe. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL">Investments in funds involve risks, including the loss of principal. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL">The shares of
most <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">closed-end</FONT> funds, including the Fund, are not continuously offered. Once issued, shares of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">closed-end</FONT> funds are bought and sold in the open market. Shares of <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">closed-end</FONT> funds frequently trade at a discount to net asset value. The price of the Fund&#146;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. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL">This Fund is diversified and primarily focuses its investments in equity securities
of issuers domiciled in Europe, thereby increasing its vulnerability to developments in that region. Investing in foreign securities, particularly those of emerging markets, presents certain risks, such as currency fluctuations, political and
economic changes, and market risks. Any fund that concentrates in a particular segment of the market or in a particular geographical region will generally be more volatile than a fund that invests more broadly. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL">The European Union, the United States and other countries have imposed sanctions in response to the Russian military and other actions in recent years. These sanctions
have adversely affected Russian individuals, Russian issuers and the Russian economy. Russia, in turn, has imposed sanctions targeting Western individuals, businesses and products. The various sanctions have adversely affected, and may continue to
adversely affect, not only the Russian economy but also the economies of many countries in Europe. The continuation of current sanctions or the imposition of additional sanctions may materially adversely affect the value of the Fund&#146;s
portfolio. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL">In June 2016, citizens of the United Kingdom voted that the United Kingdom should leave the European Union and in March 2017, the United Kingdom initiated
its withdrawal from the European Union, which is expected to take place by March 2019. Significant uncertainty exists regarding the timing and terms of the United Kingdom&#146;s anticipated withdrawal from the European Union and the effects such
withdrawal may have on the United Kingdom, other European countries and the global economy. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL">The brand DWS represents DWS Group GmbH&nbsp;&amp; Co. KGaA and any of

STYLE="white-space:nowrap">six-month</FONT> period ended June&nbsp;30, 2018, the European Equity Fund, Inc. (the &#147;Fund&#148;) registered a total return in U.S. dollar terms (USD) of &#150;2.51% based on net asset value (NAV) and &#150;4.56%
based on market price. During the same period, the total return of the Fund&#146;s benchmark, the MSCI Europe Index, was &#150;3.23%.<SUP STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">1</SUP> The Fund&#146;s discount to net asset value averaged 10.60%
for the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2018, compared with 11.07% for the same period in 2017. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">Equity markets again reached new highs in January, but then quickly
deteriorated with increasing volatility. What initially was profit taking after an excellent year of returns in 2017 turned to a stronger downward move in February/March. The subsequent rebound during the second quarter led to largely unchanged
returns in euro terms for the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">six-month</FONT> period. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">What were the events that moved markets as such? The year started with
positive news from the corporate sector with the Q4 earnings season. However, this was superimposed by a rising tide of trade protectionism. The U.S. government introduced tariffs on imported steel and aluminum and then threatened to introduce
similar tariffs on a whole line-up of products from China. China and the European Union responded with their own threats of retaliation. This debate calmed down intermittently only to rise again in June when auto tariffs became the newest category
under attack. Equity markets saw Germany as the most exposed and the DAX index underperformed the rest of Europe.<SUP STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">2</SUP> </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">Geopolitical pressure was eased with a breakthrough between the United States and North Korea in negotiations about disarmament. In terms of the European political
context, France currently has a relatively stable political backdrop. Germany is undergoing a conflict over immigration within its government. In Italy, a new government could barely be formed after support rose for various <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-traditional</FONT> parties. In the end, the new Prime Minister, Giuseppe Conte, stepped back from some of the previously proposed anti-Eurozone measures. Overall, the political context in Europe remains somewhat
tenuous. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">Macroeconomic lead indicators such as the Purchasing Managers&#146; Index (PMI) and the German Ifo Business Climate Index retraced from

previously high levels.<SUP STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">3,4</SUP> It is normal to see such moderation as the cycle progresses. It does not yet necessarily mean that the cycle is
turning over, as the absolute level of these indicators still points towards a continuation of growth. Europe&#146;s two key export markets continue to grow in a satisfactory manner. In the United States, household and business financial positions
support solid underlying growth. Continued positive wage growth supports consumption trends. China could clearly be directly affected by trade measures, but its domestic economy is becoming more balanced and the Chinese government signaled support
in case of a slowdown. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">Monetary policy remained on an expected path. The U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) raised rates again in June, while the European Central
Bank (ECB) has hinted at ending quantitative easing (QE) toward the end of this year.<SUP STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">5</SUP> In addition, the euro strength of 2017 has now moved to a weakening trend. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Bottom-up</FONT> developments continue to be encouraging. The European market was again supported by a positive earnings season in
January/February, with a majority of positive surprises. First-quarter earnings reported in April and May showed a deceleration based on high comparable growth rates from the previous year. The strongest earnings growth path can currently be
observed in financials, industrials and energy. However, toward the end of the semiannual period, earnings disappointments surfaced, largely in industrials. The most visible profit warning came from Daimler. The automotive sector in Europe is
vulnerable to an escalation of trade disputes with the potential of rising tariffs. We saw positive earnings surprises within the consumer discretionary and technology sectors. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">Perhaps surprisingly in terms of sector performance, cyclicals generally outperformed defensive issues. Of the defensive
sectors, only utilities outperformed. Energy and technology were, by a large margin, the best performing sectors. The sector positioning of the Fund&#146;s portfolio contributed to relative outperformance, especially an overweight in information
technology and an underweight in financials. The timely reduction of some overbought positions at the beginning of the year also had a positive relative contribution. Security selection cost relative performance in the materials and
telecommunication services sectors, but contributed within financials, industrials and information technology. The effect of security selection was positive overall. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">Toward the end of the period, investors began to reposition their portfolios, favoring defensive issues and quality stocks at the expense of cyclicals, in line with a
slowdown in economic growth prospects. The cyclical portfolio tilt is not as pronounced as at the beginning of the year. In addition, in line with our more defensive strategy, portfolio performance also benefited from a positive contribution of a
long position in DAX 100 index puts. At the end of the quarter the portfolio beta was 0.89.<SUP STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">6</SUP> </P> <P STYLE="font-size:12pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

annual report for 2017, we mentioned the need to monitor potential challenges such as high valuations, peaking lead indicators and the risk of renewed protectionism. These negative factors are all currently playing out in equity markets, leading to
renewed volatility.<I> </I>It remains to be seen whether this will continue while underlying trends are still positive. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">While a slowdown is evident, economic lead
indicators are still positive for growth. We expect the world economy to continue to grow at nearly 4% this year and next and for Europe to benefit from this. Risks to this outlook include a flattening of the yield curve, a stronger rise in European
wage inflation and a stronger growth slowdown in China and the emerging markets as a whole. Emerging markets are vulnerable to rising U.S. rates and a strengthening U.S. dollar. Any faster than expected rate increases from the Fed also pose a risk
for equity markets. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">We remain constructive regarding the earnings outlook for European equities. Despite the recent volatility, consensus estimates still expect
another year of double-digit earnings growth in Europe. Finally, our permanent monitoring and evaluation of market opportunities and portfolio holdings allows us to take timely action. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Question:</B> Have the rekindled political worries in the Eurozone had an effect on the growth outlook for European companies? And what about protectionism? </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Answer:</B> While the Italian political crisis has highlighted that the governmental debt situation in the Eurozone is a structural issue for the euro, it has little
short-term effect on earnings growth prospects this year. According to Bloomberg, the consensus estimate for 2018 earnings growth of the MSCI Europe Index was +11% at the beginning of the year and is now still at +10.6%. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">The global conflict regarding trade tariffs was not taken well by investors, as the &#147;goldilocks&#148; scenario of growth with moderate inflation could end.
Typically, an escalating round of trade tariffs leads to &#147;stagflation,&#148; i.e. a slowdown in growth while inflation accelerates. In this scenario, companies are challenged with slowing demand, but rising costs. Hence the earnings outlook
diminishes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Question:</B> How are cyclical versus structural growth themes reflected in the portfolio? </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Answer:</B> During the period of improving economic growth from 2016 to beginning of this year we did add some stocks with cyclical leverage. This enabled portfolio
performance to keep up with the market despite our overall defensive investment strategy. However, the core of our portfolio is driven by structural trends. These include digitalization, industrial automation, the emerging consumer, the healthy
consumer and medical innovations. Lastly, within these themes stock selection becomes critical to building a strong portfolio. </P>

investment cycle. The second part of our investment process consists of our fundamental analysis of good candidates. Given our large team of 30 fund managers located on the Continent, we are able to have about 1,600 management meetings every year.
We try to pinpoint the key issues before we go into these interviews, then try to find out whether there is momentum in the business, and what are the risks involved. </P>
