Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Finance Committee of the Board of Directors
Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc.
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Coca-Cola Enterprises Savings Plan for Organized Employees of Southern New England as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits 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. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also 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 provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2004, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Coca-Cola Enterprises Savings Plan for
Organized Employees of Southern New England
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2004
1. Description of the Plan
The following description of Coca-Cola Enterprises Savings Plan for Organized Employees of Southern New England (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.
General
The Plan is sponsored by Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. (the Company).
The Plan was formed effective July 1, 1993 and restated effective January 1, 1997 and is a defined contribution plan covering certain employees of the Company. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) as amended.
Eligibility
Each employee who (1) has attained age 21 and worked at least one year of service (1,000 hours of service prior to March 1, 2001) during a 12-month period and (2) is covered by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Local 1035, 677, 182, 317, 669, 687, or 693 bargaining unit and who is eligible for the Plan under the terms of the collective bargaining agreement negotiated between the Company and such bargaining unit, shall become a participant on the entry date (first day of the pay period coincident with employment as an eligible employee having completed the age and service requirement) at which time the participant may elect to begin compensation deferrals.
Contributions
The Plan allows a participant to contribute up to 16% of eligible compensation, as defined, subject to the maximum allowed by the Internal Revenue Code (the IRC). A participant may elect to change the rate of pre-tax contributions or suspend all pre-tax contributions at any time. The Company may elect to contribute an amount determined annually by the Company. The Company made no contributions during 2004. Since inception, the Company has not made an employer contribution to this plan.

1. Description of the Plan (continued)
Vesting
Each participant shall always be 100% vested in his or her pre-tax contributions and rollover contributions and earnings thereon.
Participant Accounts
Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions, rollover contributions, if any, and allocations of the Plan’s earnings and losses. The allocation of earnings and losses is based on participant account balances as defined in the Plan agreement. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.
In the event a participant’s union membership status changes, the participant may elect to transfer his or her account into or out of this Plan. During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Plan transferred participant accounts totaling $16,170 to the Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. Matched Employee Savings and Investment Plan.
Participant Loans
Participants who are employed at the time of the loan request, including an employee on leave, may borrow from their accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum of the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balances. Loan terms range from one to five years or up to 15 years for the purchase of a primary residence. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant’s account and bear interest at a rate commensurate with the interest rates charged by persons in the business of lending money for loans which would be made under similar circumstances. Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll deductions and the interest paid is applied directly to the participant’s account.

1. Description of the Plan (continued)
Withdrawals and Payments of Benefits
Distributions of a participant’s vested account balance shall be made during the period following his or her retirement, death, disability or termination of employment.
Distributions to participants shall be made in a single lump sum payment if their vested account balance is $1,000 or less. If the participant’s vested account balance exceeds $1,000 the Plan permits distribution under lump sum, installment payments or a combination of lump sum and installment payments at the discretion of the participant. If the participant has any loan balance at the time of distribution, the amount of cash available to the participant or beneficiary shall be reduced by the outstanding principal balance of the loan.
Prior to retirement, a withdrawal from the balance of a participant’s pre-tax contribution account would be available only for a financial hardship.
Plan Termination
The Company expects to continue the Plan indefinitely but has the right under the Plan agreement to terminate the Plan. In the event of Plan termination, all participants become 100% vested and shall receive a full distribution of their account balances.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared using the accrual method of accounting.
Valuation of Investments
The Stable Value Fund, a collective trust fund, is valued at fair value as determined by the trustee, which approximates cost. Other collective trust funds are valued at fair value as determined by the Plan’s trustee based on the market values of the underlying assets comprising the fund. Mutual funds and the common stock of The Coca-Cola Company and Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. are valued based on quoted market prices on national exchanges on the last business day of the Plan year. Participant loans are valued at their outstanding balances, which approximate fair value.
Administrative Expenses
Certain administrative expenses are paid by the Plan, as permitted by the Plan document. All other expenses are paid by the Company.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

5. Income Tax Status
The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated June 16, 2003, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the IRC and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Subsequent to this determination by the Internal Revenue Service, the Plan was amended. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the IRC to maintain its qualification. The Plan administrator believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC and, therefore, believes that the Plan, as amended, is qualified and the related trust is tax exempt.
6. Other Matters
On December 3, 2004, the Plan administrator, a committee of management of the Plan sponsor, approved a change in recordkeeper and trustee for the Plan from Mercer HR Outsourcing (previously Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company) to JPMorgan Retirement Plan Services and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., effective August 1, 2005. The effective date of the transfer of assets will also be August 1, 2005.
