           DUTCH ATTORNEY GENERAL ADVISES SUPREME COURT THAT APPEAL BY
        EUR 1.00 CREDITOR IN UPC N.V. AKKOORD PROCESS SHOULD BE DISMISSED

Amsterdam, The Netherlands - July 15, 2003: United Pan-Europe Communications
N.V. ("UPC" or the "Company") (EURONEXT Amsterdam: UPC) gives notice that on
July 11, 2003, the Dutch Attorney General delivered advice to the Supreme Court,
which concluded that all of the grounds for the appeal by InterComm Holdings
L.L.C. ("ICH") are without merit and that, therefore, the appeal should be
dismissed. The Supreme Court, which is independent of the Dutch Attorney
General, generally takes into account the conclusion of the Dutch Attorney
General and, in most cases, comes out with the same result as the Dutch Attorney
General. It is expected that the Supreme Court will deal with the matter
expediently.

Following the confirmation of the Akkoord (plan of composition) by the Dutch
Court of Appeals that was part of the recapitalisation process of UPC, ICH, a
creditor in the Dutch moratorium proceeding with a EUR 1.00 claim and one vote,
has appealed the ratification of the Akkoord to the Dutch Supreme Court (Hoge
Raad). The Supreme Court will be the final point of appeal for ICH in relation
to the ratification of the Akkoord by the district court in Amsterdam on March
13th 2003. UPC believes the appeal is without merit. As previously highlighted
the U.S. Court and the Dutch Court of Appeals have already overruled objections
brought by ICH.

The Company will provide more information on the expected timing of completion
of the restructuring as soon as it is available.
