Statement on Behalf of MTV Networks International in Response to Erroneous
Reports Circulating in the Media About 'MTV EMAs Present U2 at the Brandenburg
Gate'

NEW YORK, Nov. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- MTV wants to ensure that the 10,000 music
fans expected to attend tonight's production enjoy a safe and happy
experience.

The safety and well-being of all attendees at any MTV produced event is of the
highest priority. MTV worked closely with our local promoter DEAG, the Borough
of Berlin and the Berlin Police Department to create a comprehensive security
plan for the event. To that end, MTV placed a temporary security fence around
the site perimeter.

Under no circumstances did MTV build a 'wall' of any kind in or around the U2
production site.

We urge everyone to watch the event on MTV Networks around the world from 3:00
pm EST tonight to see for themselves.
