ITEM 4.  CHANGE IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
-----------------------------------------------------

On June 21, 2002, CompleTel Europe N.V. (the "Company"), was notified by
Arthur Andersen (The Netherlands), the Company's independent auditor since
its inception, that Arthur Andersen had resigned as auditor for the
Company. Arthur Andersen's resignation results from the acquisition of
Arthur Andersen's audit practice in The Netherlands by Deloitte & Touche
Accountants. Consequently, as of June 21, 2002, Arthur Andersen will no
longer serve as the Company's independent auditor.

Arthur Andersen's reports on the Company's consolidated financial
statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, did not
contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified
as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that Arthur
Andersen's report on the Company's consolidated financial statements for
the year ended December 31, 2001, stated that the Company's recurring
losses from operations and its expectation to utilize its existing cash
resources during 2002 raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability
to continue as a going concern. During the two most recent fiscal years,
and the interim period through the date of Arthur Andersen's resignation,
the Company had no disagreements with Arthur Andersen on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or
auditing scope or procedures, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of
Arthur Andersen, would have caused them to make reference to the subject
matter of the disagreement in connection with their report on the Company's
consolidated financial statement for these periods, and there were no
reportable events within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of SEC Regulation
S-K.

The Company is currently finalizing the selection of its new auditor. In
accordance with the requirements of Item 4(b) of Form 8-K, the Company will
file a current report on Form 8-K once its new auditor is selected.
