COCA-COLA ENTERPRISES INC.
AFFIRMS 2002 PERFORMANCE GUIDANCE AND
OUTLINES GROWTH EXPECTATIONS FOR 2003

ATLANTA, December 3, 2002 -- In a meeting with investors and analysts, Coca-Cola Enterprises today will affirm the Company's outlook for full-year 2002 results and outline expectations for continued volume and profit growth in 2003.

For 2002, the Company expects volume growth in North America of 3 percent for the full year while achieving growth in Europe of 3 percent to 4 percent.  Earnings per diluted common share for the year are expected to total between $1.00 and $1.03.

For 2003, the Company expects to achieve continued volume momentum, with growth in North American physical case bottle and can volume of 3 percent, and European volume growth of 4 percent to 6 percent. Net income per diluted common share is expected to increase to a range of $1.15 to $1.22.

"Our Company has performed very well in 2002, and our goal for 2003 is to build on our solid volume and profit momentum," said Lowry F. Kline, chairman and chief executive officer. "Ongoing operating improvement, coupled with disciplined capital reinvestment, will enable us to achieve our primary objectives of long term, consistent profit growth, stronger returns on invested capital, and improved free cash flow."

"Our 2003 plans are based on enhanced North American pricing, as well as continued strong volume impact from successful new brands and brand extensions such as Vanilla Coke, diet Vanilla Coke, and Minute Maid juice drinks," said John R. Alm, president and chief operating officer. "We also expect our European operations to again achieve balanced volume and pricing growth in 2003, strengthening our outlook for the year."

The Company will webcast the meeting via the Company's Web site, www.cokecce.com, and a replay will be available through the site's Investor Relations section.
