Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees and Shareholders of Putnam Europe Equity Fund:
In planning and performing our audit of the financial
statements of Putnam Europe Equity Fund ( the Fund ) as of and
for the year ended June 30, 2013, in accordance with the
standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States), we considered the Fund s internal control
over financial reporting, including controls over safeguarding
securities, as a basis for designing our auditing procedures
for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial
statements and to comply with the requirements of Form N-SAR,
but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Fund s internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Fund s internal control over financial
reporting.
The management of the Fund is responsible for establishing and
maintaining effective internal control over financial
reporting. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and
judgments by management are required to assess the expected
benefits and related costs of controls. A fund s internal
control over financial reporting is a process designed to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. A fund s internal control
over financial reporting includes those policies and
procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records
that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the fund are
being made only in accordance with authorizations of
management and trustees of the company; and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection
of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of a fund s
assets that could have a material effect on the financial
statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over
financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the
degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate.
A deficiency in internal control over financial reporting
exists when the design or operation of a control does not
allow management or employees, in the normal course of
performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect
misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a
deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal
control over financial reporting, such that there is a
reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the
Fund s annual or interim financial statements will not be
prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Our consideration of the Fund s internal control over
financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in
the first paragraph and would not necessarily disclose all
deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that
might be material weaknesses under standards established by
the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
However, we noted no deficiencies in the Fund s internal
control over financial reporting and its operation, including
controls over safeguarding securities, that we consider to be
material weaknesses as defined above as of June 30, 2013.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of
management and the Board of Trustees of Putnam Europe Equity
Fund and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not
intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than
these specified parties.

New accounting pronouncement
In January 2013, ASU 2013 01, Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures
about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, amended ASU No. 2011 11,
Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The ASUs
create new disclosure requirements requiring entities to disclose
both gross and net information for derivatives and other
financial instruments that are either off set in the Statement of
assets and liabilities or subject to an enforceable master
netting arrangement or similar agreement. The disclosure
requirements are effective for annual reporting periods beginning
on or after January 1, 2013 and interim periods within those
annual periods. Putnam Management is currently evaluating the
application of ASUs 2013 01 and 2011 11 and their impact, if any,
on the funds financial statements.
