Item 8.01.  Other Events and Regulation FD Disclosure

As we have previously disclosed, the Competition Directorate of the European Commission (the "Commission") has been conducting an investigation into various commercial practices of Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc., The Coca-Cola Company and certain other bottlers (the "Companies") in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany and Great Britain. In the last few months, the Companies and the Commission began a dialogue to identify and address the commercial practices understood to be under review by the Commission. The Companies recently submitted draft proposals that address all such practices. The Commission has advised us that it intends to share these proposals with parties involved in the nonalcoholic beverage market, including retailers and other beverage suppliers, for their comment. Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. remains committed to an open dialogue with the Commission and will await further guidance on this matter from the Commission.
