BUSINESS_AND_SUMMARY_OF_SIGNIF

BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2014
Business and Reporting Policies [Abstract]
BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Business
	We are a marketer, producer, and distributor of nonalcoholic beverages. We market, produce, and distribute our products to customers and consumers through licensed territory agreements in Belgium, continental France, Great Britain, Luxembourg, Monaco, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden. We operate in the highly competitive beverage industry and face strong competition from other general and specialty beverage companies. Our financial results are affected by a number of factors, including, but not limited to, consumer preferences, cost to manufacture and distribute products, foreign currency exchange rates, general economic conditions, local and national laws and regulations, raw material availability, and weather patterns.
	Sales of our products tend to be seasonal, with the second and third quarters accounting for higher unit sales of our products than the first and fourth quarters. In a typical year, we earn more than 60 percent of our annual operating income during the second and third quarters. The seasonality of our sales volume, combined with the accounting for fixed costs such as depreciation, amortization, rent, and interest expense, impacts our results on a quarterly basis. Additionally, year-over-year shifts in holidays, selling days, and weather patterns can impact our results on an annual or quarterly basis.
	Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
	Our Consolidated Financial Statements include all entities that we control by ownership of a majority voting interest. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
	Our fiscal year ends on December 31. For interim quarterly reporting convenience, our first three quarters close on the Friday closest to the end of the quarterly calendar period. There were the same number of selling days in 2014, 2013, and 2012 (based upon a standard five-day selling week).
	The following table summarizes the number of selling days by quarter for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012 (based on a standard five-day selling week):
		First		Second		Third		Fourth		Full
		Quarter		Quarter		Quarter		Quarter		Year
	2014	63		65		65		68		261
	2013	64		65		65		67		261
	2012	65		65		65		66		261
	Use of Estimates
	Our Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and include estimates and assumptions made by management that affect reported amounts. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
	Net Sales
	We recognize net sales when all of the following conditions are met: (1) evidence of a binding arrangement exists (generally, purchase orders); (2) products have been delivered and there is no future performance required; and (3) amounts are collectible under normal payment terms. For product sales, these conditions occur when the products are delivered to or picked up by our customers and, in the case of full-service vending, when cash is collected from vending machines. Revenue is stated net of sales discounts and marketing and promotional incentives paid to customers.
	We record value added taxes (VAT) on a net basis (i.e., excluded from net sales) and record excise taxes and taxes on packaging on a gross basis (i.e., included in net sales). During 2014, 2013, and 2012, the total amount of taxes recorded on a gross basis approximated $584 million, $555 million, and $500 million, respectively.
	Customer Marketing Programs and Sales Incentives
	We participate in various programs and arrangements with customers designed to increase the sale of our products. Among these programs are arrangements under which allowances can be earned by customers for attaining agreed-upon sales levels or for participating in specific marketing programs. Coupon programs are also developed on a customer- and territory-specific basis with the intent of increasing sales. We believe our participation in these programs is essential to ensuring volume and revenue growth in a competitive marketplace. The costs of all these various programs, included as a reduction in net sales, totaled $1.1 billion, $1.1 billion, and $1.0 billion in 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively.
	Under customer programs and arrangements that require sales incentives to be paid in advance, we amortize the amount paid over the period of benefit or contractual sales volume. When incentives are paid in arrears, we accrue the estimated amount to be paid based on the program’s contractual terms, expected customer performance, and/or estimated sales volume.
	Licensor Support Arrangements
	We participate in various funding programs supported by TCCC or other licensors whereby we receive funds from the licensors to support customer marketing programs or other arrangements that promote the sale of the licensors’ products. Under these programs, certain costs incurred by us are reimbursed by the applicable licensor. Payments from TCCC and other licensors for marketing programs and other similar arrangements to promote the sale of products are classified as a reduction in cost of sales, unless we can overcome the presumption that the payment is a reduction in the price of the licensor’s products. Payments for marketing programs are recognized as product is sold.
	For additional information about our transactions with TCCC, refer to Note 3.
	Shipping and Handling Costs
	Shipping and handling costs related to the movement of finished goods from our manufacturing locations to our sales distribution centers are included in cost of sales on our Consolidated Statements of Income. Shipping and handling costs incurred to move finished goods from our sales distribution centers to customer locations are included in selling, delivery, and administrative (SD&A) expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Income and totaled approximately $301 million, $275 million, and $314 million in 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. Our customers do not pay us separately for shipping and handling costs.
	Share-Based Compensation
	We recognize compensation expense equal to the grant-date fair value for all share-based payment awards that are expected to vest. This expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the entire award, unless the awards are subject to performance conditions, in which case we recognize compensation expense over the requisite service period of each separate vesting tranche. We recognize compensation expense for our performance share units when it becomes probable that the performance criteria specified in the plan will be achieved. All compensation expense related to our share-based payment awards is recorded in SD&A expenses. We determine the grant-date fair value of our share-based payment awards using a Black-Scholes model, unless the awards are subject to market conditions, in which case we use a binomial-lattice model (e.g., Monte Carlo simulation model). The Monte Carlo simulation model utilizes multiple input variables to estimate the probability that market conditions will be achieved. Refer to Note 11.
	Earnings Per Share
	We calculate our basic earnings per share by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares and participating securities outstanding during the period. Our diluted earnings per share are calculated in a similar manner, but include the effect of dilutive securities. To the extent these securities are antidilutive, they are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. Share-based payment awards that are contingently issuable upon the achievement of a specified market or performance condition are included in our diluted earnings per share calculation in the period in which the condition is satisfied. Refer to Note 12.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with maturity dates of less than three months when acquired. As of December 31, 2014, substantially all of our total cash and cash equivalents was held by consolidated entities that are outside the U.S. Our disclosure of the cash and cash equivalents held by consolidated entities located outside the U.S. is not meant to imply the cash will be repatriated to the U.S. at a future date. Any future repatriation of foreign earnings to the U.S. will be based on actual U.S.-based cash flow needs and actual foreign entity cash available at the time of repatriation. We continually assess the counterparties and instruments we use to hold our cash and cash equivalents, with a focus on preservation of capital and liquidity.
	Trade Accounts Receivable
	We sell our products to retailers, wholesalers, and other customers and extend credit, generally without requiring collateral, based on our evaluation of the customer’s financial condition. While we have a concentration of credit risk in the retail sector, we believe this risk is mitigated due to the diverse nature of the customers we serve, including, but not limited to, their type, geographic location, size, and beverage channel. Collections of our receivables are dependent on each individual customer’s financial condition and sales adjustments granted after the balance sheet date. We carry our trade accounts receivable at net realizable value. Typically, accounts receivable have terms of 40 to 60 days and do not bear interest. We monitor our exposure to losses on receivables and maintain allowances for potential losses or adjustments. We determine these allowances by (1) evaluating the aging of our receivables; (2) analyzing our history of adjustments; and (3) reviewing our high-risk customers. Past due receivable balances are written off when our efforts have been unsuccessful in collecting the amount due. We also carry credit insurance on a portion of our accounts receivable balance.
	The following table summarizes the change in our allowance for losses on trade accounts receivable for the periods presented (in millions):

	Balance at December 31, 2014	$	17
	Inventories
	We value our inventories at the lower of cost or market, and cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Inventories consist of raw materials and supplies (primarily including concentrate, other ingredients, and packaging) and finished goods, which also include direct labor and indirect production and overhead costs. The following table summarizes our inventories as of the dates presented (in millions):
		December 31,
		2014				2013
	Finished goods	$	238			$	260
	Raw materials and supplies	150				192
	Total inventories	$	388			$	452
	Property, Plant, and Equipment
	Property, plant, and equipment is recorded at cost. Major property additions, replacements, and betterments are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs that do not extend the useful life of an asset or add new functionality are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the respective estimated useful lives of our assets. Our cold-drink equipment and containers, such as reusable crates, shells, and bottles, are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of each group of equipment, as determined using the group-life method. Under this method, we do not recognize gains or losses on the disposal of individual units of equipment when the disposal occurs in the normal course of business. We capitalize the costs of refurbishing our cold-drink equipment and depreciate those costs over the estimated period until the next scheduled refurbishment or until the equipment is retired. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the remaining lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvement.
	The following table summarizes the classification of depreciation and amortization expense in our Consolidated Statements of Income for the periods presented (in millions):
	Location – Statements of Income		2014				2013				2012
	Selling, delivery, and administrative expenses		$	192			$	190			$	214
	Cost of sales		117				118				121
	Total depreciation and amortization		$	309			$	308			$	335
	Our interests in assets acquired under capital leases are included in property, plant, and equipment and primarily relate to buildings and fleet assets. Amortization of capital lease assets is included in depreciation expense. Our net interests in assets acquired under capital leases totaled $21 million as of December 31, 2014 (gross cost of $82 million, net of accumulated amortization of $61 million). The net present values of amounts due under capital leases are recorded as liabilities and are included within our total debt. Refer to Note 6.
We assess the recoverability of the carrying amount of our property, plant, and equipment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. If we determine that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group is not recoverable based upon the expected undiscounted future cash flows of the asset or asset group, we record an impairment loss equal to the excess of the carrying amount over the estimated fair value of the asset or asset group.
We capitalize certain development costs associated with internal use software, including external direct costs of materials and services and payroll costs for employees devoting time to a software project. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the net amount of unamortized capitalized software costs included on our Consolidated Balance Sheets was $73 million and $66 million, respectively. Costs incurred during the preliminary project stage, as well as costs for maintenance and training, are expensed as incurred.

We compute and report income taxes on a separate return basis and recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of our assets and liabilities. We establish valuation allowances if we believe that it is more likely than not that some or all of our deferred tax assets will not be realized. We do not recognize a tax benefit unless we conclude that it is more likely than not that the benefit will be sustained on audit by the taxing authority based solely on the technical merits of the associated tax position. If the recognition threshold is met, we recognize a tax benefit measured at the largest amount of the tax benefit that, in our judgment, is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized. We record interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax positions in interest expense, net and other nonoperating (expense) income, respectively, on our Consolidated Statements of Income. Refer to Note 10.
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income and other adjustments, including foreign currency translation adjustments, hedges of our net investments in our foreign subsidiaries, changes in the fair value of certain derivative financial instruments qualifying as cash flow hedges, and pension plan adjustments. We do not provide income taxes on currency translation adjustments (CTA), as the historical earnings from our foreign subsidiaries are considered to be permanently reinvested. If current year earnings are repatriated, the amount to be repatriated is determined in U.S. dollars and converted to the equivalent amount of foreign currency at the time of repatriation; therefore, the repatriation of current year earnings does not have an impact on the CTA component of our accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) balance.
The following table summarizes our AOCI as of the dates presented (after tax; in millions):

Foreign Currency Translation
The assets and liabilities of our operations are translated from local currencies into our reporting currency, the U.S. dollar, at currency exchange rates in effect at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses from the translation of our results are included in AOCI on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Revenues and expenses are translated at average monthly currency exchange rates. Gains and losses arising from currency exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the local functional currency are included in other nonoperating (expense) income on our Consolidated Statements of Income.
Fair Value Measurements
The fair values of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their carrying amounts due to their short-term nature. The fair values of our debt instruments are estimated based on debt with similar maturities and credit quality and current market interest rates (refer to Note 6). The estimated fair values of our derivative instruments are calculated based on market rates to settle the instruments. These values represent the estimated amounts we would receive upon sale or pay upon transfer, taking into consideration current market rates and credit risk.
The following tables summarize our assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) as of the dates presented (in millions):

___________________________
(A)	We calculate derivative asset and liability amounts using a variety of valuation techniques, depending on the specific characteristics of the hedging instrument, taking into account credit risk. The fair value of our derivative contracts (including forwards, options, cross-currency swaps, and interest rate swaps) is determined using standard valuation models. The significant inputs used in these models are readily available in public markets or can be derived from observable market transactions and, therefore, our derivative contracts have been classified as Level 2. Inputs used in these standard valuation models include the applicable spot, forward, and discount rates. The standard valuation model for our option contracts also includes implied volatility, which is specific to individual options and is based on rates quoted from a widely used third-party resource.
(B)	For additional information about our pension plan assets, including the determination of fair value, refer to Note 9.
Derivative Financial Instruments
We utilize derivative financial instruments to mitigate our exposure to certain market risks associated with our ongoing operations. The primary risks that we seek to manage through the use of derivative financial instruments include currency exchange risk, commodity price risk, and interest rate risk. All derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. While certain of our derivative instruments are designated as hedging instruments, we also enter into derivative instruments that are designed to hedge a risk, but are not designated as hedging instruments (referred to as an “economic hedge” or “non-designated hedges”). Changes in the fair value of these non-designated hedging instruments are recognized in the expense line item on our Consolidated Statements of Income that is consistent with the nature of the hedged risk. We are exposed to counterparty credit risk on all of our derivative financial instruments. We have established and maintain strict counterparty credit guidelines and enter into hedges only with financial institutions that are investment grade or better. We continuously monitor counterparty credit risk and utilize numerous counterparties to minimize our exposure to potential defaults. We do not require collateral under these agreements. Refer to Note 5.

	Our franchise license agreements contain performance requirements and convey to us the rights to distribute and sell products of the licensor within specified territories. Our license agreements with TCCC for each of our territories have terms of 10 years and expire on October 2, 2020, with each containing the right for us to request a 10-year renewal. While these agreements contain no automatic right of renewal beyond that date, we believe that our interdependent relationship with TCCC and the substantial cost and disruption to TCCC that would be caused by nonrenewals ensure that these agreements will continue to be renewed and, therefore, are essentially perpetual. We have never had a franchise license agreement with TCCC terminated due to nonperformance of the terms of the agreement or due to a decision by TCCC to terminate an agreement at the expiration of a term. After evaluating the contractual provisions of our franchise license agreements, our mutually beneficial relationship with TCCC, and our history of renewals, we have assigned indefinite lives to all of our franchise license intangible assets.
	We do not amortize our franchise license intangible assets and goodwill. Instead, we test these assets for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate they may be impaired. We performed our 2014, 2013, and 2012 annual impairment tests of our franchise license intangible assets and goodwill as of the last reporting day of October of each respective year. The results of the qualitative impairment assessment of these assets indicated it was not more likely than not that the estimated fair value of these assets was less than their respective carrying values at each testing date. As a result, no impairment charges were recorded.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS	RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
	Transactions with TCCC
	We are a marketer, producer, and distributor principally of products of TCCC, with greater than 90 percent of our sales volume consisting of sales of TCCC products. Our license arrangements with TCCC are governed by product licensing agreements. From time to time, the terms and conditions of programs with TCCC are modified.
	We have license agreements with TCCC for each of our territories that extend through October 2, 2020, with terms of 10 years, with each containing the right for us to request a 10-year renewal. We also have an agreement with TCCC for an incidence-based concentrate pricing model across all of our territories that extends through December 31, 2015.
	The following table summarizes the transactions with TCCC that directly impacted our Consolidated Statements of Income for the periods presented (in millions):
		2014			2013			2012
	Amounts affecting net sales:
	Fountain syrup and packaged product sales	$	18		$	17		$	15

	Total	$	(2,151	)	$	(2,162	)	$	(2,086	)
	Fountain Syrup and Packaged Product Sales
	On behalf of TCCC, we act as a billing and delivery agent in certain territories for fountain customers and receive distribution fees from TCCC for those sales. We invoice and collect amounts receivable for these fountain syrup sales on behalf of TCCC. We also sell bottle and can products to TCCC at prices that are generally similar to the prices charged by us to our major customers.
	Purchases of Concentrate, Syrup, Mineral Water, Juice, and Finished Products
	We purchase concentrate, syrup, mineral water, and juice from TCCC to produce, package, distribute, and sell TCCC’s products under product licensing agreements. We also purchase finished products from TCCC for sale within certain territories. The product licensing agreements give TCCC complete discretion to set prices of concentrate and finished products. Pricing of mineral water is also based on contractual arrangements with TCCC.
	Marketing Support Funding Earned
	We and TCCC engage in a variety of marketing programs to promote the sale of TCCC products in territories in which we operate. The amounts to be paid to us by TCCC under the programs are generally determined annually and are periodically reassessed as the programs progress. Under the licensing agreements, TCCC is under no obligation to participate in the programs or continue past levels of funding in the future. The amounts paid and terms of similar programs with other licensees may differ. Marketing support funding programs granted to us provide financial support principally based on product sales or upon the completion of stated requirements and are intended to offset a portion of the costs of the programs.
	We and TCCC have established a Global Marketing Fund, under which TCCC pays us $45 million annually through December 31, 2015, except under certain limited circumstances. The agreement will automatically be extended for successive 10-year periods unless either party gives written notice to terminate the agreement. We earn annual funding under the agreement if both parties agree on an annual marketing and business plan. TCCC may terminate the agreement for the balance of any year in which we fail to timely complete the marketing plan or are unable to execute the elements of that plan, if such failure were to be within our reasonable control. During each of the years 2014, 2013, and 2012, we received $45 million under the Global Marketing Fund with TCCC.
	Other Transactions
	Other transactions with TCCC include certain tax services provided under a Transition Services Agreement, management fees, office space leases, and purchases of point-of-sale and other advertising items, all of which were not material to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
	Cold-Drink Equipment Placement Programs
	We and TCCC are parties to the Cold-Drink Equipment Purchase Partnership Programs (Jumpstart Programs). The Jumpstart Programs were designed to promote the purchase and placement of cold-drink equipment. By the end of 2007, we had met our obligations to purchase and place cold-drink equipment (principally vending machines and coolers). Under the Jumpstart Programs, as amended, we agree to:
	•	Maintain the equipment in service, with certain exceptions, for a minimum period of 12 years after placement;
	•	Maintain and stock the equipment in accordance with specified standards for marketing TCCC products;
	•	Report annually to TCCC during the period the equipment is in service whether or not, on average, the equipment purchased has generated a contractually stated minimum sales volume of TCCC products; and
	•	Relocate equipment if the previously placed equipment is not generating sufficient sales volume of TCCC products to meet the minimum requirements. Movement of the equipment is required only if it is determined that, on average, sufficient volume is not being generated, and it would help to ensure our performance under the Jumpstart Programs.
	Historically, our throughput on equipment placed under the Jumpstart Programs has exceeded the throughput requirements of the Jumpstart Programs, and material movements of equipment have not been required.

	(A)	Amounts include the gross interest receivable or payable on our cross-currency swap agreements.
	Cash Flow Hedges
	We use cash flow hedges to mitigate our exposure to changes in cash flows attributable to currency fluctuations associated with certain forecasted transactions, including purchases of raw materials and services denominated in non-functional currencies, the receipt of interest and principal on intercompany loans denominated in non-functional currencies, and the payment of interest and principal on debt issuances in a non-functional currency. Effective changes in the fair value of these cash flow hedging instruments are recognized in AOCI on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The effective changes are then recognized in the period that the forecasted purchases or payments impact earnings in the expense line item on our Consolidated Statements of Income that is consistent with the nature of the underlying hedged item. Any changes in the fair value of these cash flow hedges that are the result of ineffectiveness are recognized immediately in the expense line item on our Consolidated Statements of Income that is consistent with the nature of the underlying hedged item.
	The following table summarizes our outstanding cash flow hedges as of the dates presented (all contracts denominated in a foreign currency have been converted into U.S. dollars using the period end spot rate):
			December 31, 2014				December 31, 2013

	___________________________
	(A)	The amount of ineffectiveness associated with these hedges was not material.
	(B)	Over the next 12 months, deferred losses totaling $8 million are expected to be reclassified from AOCI as the forecasted transactions occur. The amounts will be recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the expense line item that is consistent with the nature of the underlying hedged item.
	(C)	The gain (loss) recognized on these currency contracts is offset by the gain (loss) recognized on the remeasurement of the underlying debt instruments; therefore, there is a minimal consolidated net effect in other nonoperating (expense) income on our Consolidated Statements of Income.
	Economic (Non-designated) Hedges
	We periodically enter into derivative instruments that are designed to hedge various risks, but are not designated as hedging instruments. These hedged risks include those related to commodity price fluctuations associated with forecasted purchases of aluminum, sugar, and vehicle fuel. At times, we also enter into other short-term non-designated hedges to mitigate our exposure to changes in cash flows attributable to currency fluctuations associated with short-term intercompany loans and certain cash equivalents denominated in non-functional currencies. Changes in the fair value of outstanding economic hedges are recognized each reporting period in the expense line item on our Consolidated Statements of Income that is consistent with the nature of the hedged risk.
	The following table summarizes our outstanding economic hedges as of the dates presented (all contracts denominated in a foreign currency have been converted into U.S. dollars using the period end spot rate):

	___________________________
	(A)	The gain (loss) recognized on these currency contracts is offset by the (loss) gain recognized on the remeasurement of the underlying hedged items; therefore, there is a minimal consolidated net effect in other nonoperating (expense) income on our Consolidated Statements of Income.
	Mark-to-market gains (losses) related to our non-designated commodity hedges are recognized in the earnings of our Corporate segment until such time as the underlying hedged transaction affects the earnings of our Europe operating segment. In the period the underlying hedged transaction occurs, the accumulated mark-to-market gains (losses) related to the hedged transaction are reclassified from the earnings of our Corporate segment into the earnings of our Europe operating segment. This treatment allows our Europe operating segment to reflect the true economic effects of the underlying hedged transaction in the period the hedged transaction occurs without experiencing the mark-to-market volatility associated with these non-designated commodity hedges.
	As of December 31, 2014, our Corporate segment included net mark-to-market losses on non-designated commodity hedges totaling $10 million. These amounts will be reclassified into the earnings of our Europe operating segment when the underlying hedged transaction occurs. For additional information about our segment reporting, refer to Note 13.
The following table summarizes the deferred gain (loss) activity in our Corporate segment for the periods presented (in millions):

(A)	Over the next 12 months, deferred losses totaling $5 million are expected to be reclassified from our Corporate segment earnings into the earnings of our Europe operating segment as the underlying hedged transactions occur.
Net Investment Hedges
We have entered into foreign currency forwards, options, and foreign currency denominated borrowings designated as net investment hedges of our foreign subsidiaries. Changes in the fair value of these hedges resulting from currency exchange rate changes are recognized in AOCI on our Consolidated Balance Sheets to offset the change in the carrying value of the net investment being hedged. Any changes in the fair value of these hedges that are the result of ineffectiveness are recognized immediately in other nonoperating (expense) income on our Consolidated Statements of Income. During the third quarter of 2014, we settled foreign currency net investment hedges prior to their November 2014 maturity, and received $21 million upon settlement. Additionally, during 2013, we paid $21 million to settle our foreign currency net investment hedges that matured during that year.

	Credit Facilities
	We have amounts available to us for borrowing under a $1.0 billion multi-currency credit facility with a syndicate of eight banks. This credit facility matures in 2017 and is for general corporate purposes, including serving as a backstop to our commercial paper program and supporting our working capital needs. At December 31, 2014, we had no amount drawn under this credit facility. Based on information currently available to us, we have no indication that the financial institutions participating in this facility would be unable to fulfill their commitments to us as of the date of the filing of this report.
	Covenants
	Our credit facility and outstanding third-party notes contain various provisions that, among other things, require limitation of the incurrence of certain liens or encumbrances in excess of defined amounts. Additionally, our credit facility requires that our net debt to total capital ratio does not exceed a defined amount. We were in compliance with these requirements as of December 31, 2014. These requirements currently are not, and it is not anticipated they will become, restrictive to our liquidity or capital resources.

Leases, Operating [Abstract]
OPERATING LEASES	OPERATING LEASES
	We lease land, office and warehouse space, computer hardware, machinery and equipment, and vehicles under noncancelable operating lease agreements expiring at various dates through 2027. Some lease agreements contain standard renewal provisions that allow us to renew the lease at rates equivalent to fair market value at the end of the lease term. Under lease agreements that contain escalating rent provisions, lease expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Under lease agreements that contain rent holidays, rent expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the entire lease term, including the period covered by the rent holiday. Rent expense under noncancelable operating lease agreements totaled $86 million, $89 million, and $87 million during 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively.
	The following table summarizes our minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating leases with initial or remaining lease terms in excess of one year as of December 31, 2014 (in millions):

	Purchase Commitments
	We have noncancelable purchase agreements with various suppliers that specify a fixed or minimum quantity that we must purchase. All purchases made under these agreements are subject to standard quality and performance criteria. The following table summarizes our purchase commitments as of December 31, 2014 (in millions):
	Years Ending December 31,		Purchase

	Total purchase commitments		$	360
	___________________________
	(A)	These commitments do not include amounts related to supply agreements that require us to purchase a certain percentage of our future raw material needs from a specific supplier, since such agreements do not specify a fixed or minimum quantity.
	Tax Audits
	Our tax filings for various periods in the jurisdictions in which we do business may be subjected to audit by the relevant tax authorities. These audits may result in assessments of additional taxes that are subsequently resolved with the authorities or potentially through the courts. We believe that we have adequately provided for any assessments that could result from those proceedings where it is more likely than not that we will pay some amount.
	Workforce (Unaudited)
	At December 31, 2014, we had approximately 11,650 employees, of which approximately 150 were located in the U.S. A majority of our employees in Europe are covered by collectively bargained labor agreements, most of which do not expire. However, wage rates must be renegotiated at various dates through 2016. We believe that we will be able to renegotiate wage rates with satisfactory terms.
	Indemnifications
	In the normal course of business, we enter into agreements that provide general indemnifications. We have not made significant indemnification payments under such agreements in the past, and we believe the likelihood of incurring such a payment obligation in the future is remote. Furthermore, we cannot reasonably estimate future potential payment obligations because we cannot predict when and under what circumstances they may be incurred. As a result, we have not recorded a liability in our Consolidated Financial Statements with respect to these general indemnifications.

Pension Plan Assets
We have established formal investment policies for the assets associated with our pension plans. Policy objectives include (1) maximizing long-term return at acceptable risk levels; (2) diversifying among asset classes, if appropriate, and among investment managers; and (3) establishing relevant risk parameters within each asset class. Investment policies reflect the unique circumstances of the respective plans and include requirements designed to mitigate risk, including quality and diversification standards. Asset allocation targets are based on periodic asset liability and/or risk budgeting study results, which help determine the appropriate investment strategies for acceptable risk levels. The investment policies permit variances from the targets within certain parameters.
Factors such as asset class allocations, long-term rates of return (actual and expected), and results of periodic asset liability modeling studies are considered when constructing the long-term rate of return assumption for our pension plans. While historical rates of return play an important role in the analysis, we also take into consideration data points from other external sources if there is a reasonable justification to do so.
The following table summarizes our weighted average pension asset allocations as of our measurement date for the periods presented and the weighted average expected long-term rates of return by asset category:

(A)	Equity securities are comprised of the following investment types: (1) common stock; (2) preferred stock; and (3) common trust funds. Investments in common and preferred stocks are valued using quoted market prices multiplied by the number of shares owned. Investments in common trust funds are valued at the net asset value per share multiplied by the number of shares held as of the measurement date (as of December 31, 2014, it is not probable that we will sell these investments at an amount other than net asset value).
(B)	Investments other than those held in common trust funds are valued utilizing a market approach that includes various valuation techniques and sources such as value generation models, broker quotes in active and non-active markets, benchmark yields and securities, reported trades, issuer spreads, and/or other applicable reference data.
(C)	Short-term investments are valued at $1.00/unit, which approximates fair value. Amounts are generally invested in actively managed common trust funds or interest-bearing accounts.
(D)	Real estate funds are valued at net asset value, which is calculated using the most recent partnership financial reports, adjusted, as appropriate, for any lag between the date of the financial reports and the measurement date (as of December 31, 2014, it is not probable that we will sell these investments at an amount other than net asset value).
(E)	Insurance contracts are valued at book value, which approximates fair value, and is calculated using the prior year balance adjusted for investment returns and changes in cash flows.
(F)	Hedge funds are held in private investment funds. These investments are valued based primarily on the net asset value, which is provided by the management of each private investment fund, multiplied by the number of shares held as of the measurement date, net of any accrued management and incentive fees due to the fund managers (as of December 31, 2014, it is not probable that we will sell these investments at an amount other than net asset value).

	The current income tax provision represents the estimated amount of income taxes paid or payable for the year, as well as changes in estimates from prior years. The deferred income tax provision represents the change in our deferred tax liabilities and assets. The following table summarizes the significant components of income tax expense for the periods presented (in millions):

	Our effective tax rate was 26 percent, 17 percent, and 19 percent for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. The following table provides a reconciliation of our income tax expense at the statutory U.S. federal tax rate to our actual income tax expense for the periods presented (in millions):

	Total provision for income taxes	$	230		$	138		$	160
	___________________________
	(A)	Our effective tax rate reflects the benefit of having all of our operations outside the U.S., most of which are taxed at statutory rates lower than the statutory U.S. rate of 35 percent, and the benefit of some income being fully or partially exempt from income taxes due to various operating and financing activities.
	(B)	During the third quarter of 2014, France extended the temporary corporate income tax surcharge of 10.7 percent to the year 2015. As a result, we recognized a deferred tax benefit of approximately $1 million during the third quarter of 2014 related to net deferred tax assets that are expected to be realized in 2015.
	(C)	During the third quarter of 2013, the United Kingdom enacted a corporate income tax rate reduction of 3 percentage points, 2 percentage points effective April 1, 2014, and 1 percentage point effective April 1, 2015. As a result, we recognized a deferred tax benefit of $71 million during the third quarter of 2013 to reflect this change.
	(D)	During the third quarter of 2012, the United Kingdom enacted a corporate income tax rate reduction of 2 percentage points, 1 percentage point retroactive to April 1, 2012, and 1 percentage point effective April 1, 2013. As a result, we recognized a deferred tax benefit of $50 million during the third quarter of 2012 to reflect the impact of this change.
	(E)	During the fourth quarter of 2012, Sweden enacted a corporate income tax rate reduction of 4.3 percentage points. As a result, we recognized a deferred tax benefit of $20 million during the fourth quarter of 2012 to reflect this change.
	(F)	During the fourth quarter of 2012, Belgium enacted a tax law change. As a result, we recognized a valuation allowance of $8 million during the fourth quarter of 2012 to reflect the impact of this change.
	The following table summarizes, by major tax jurisdiction, our tax years that remain subject to examination by taxing authorities:

	Deferred Income Taxes
	Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

We recognize valuation allowances on deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of the evidence, we believe that it is more likely than not that some or all of our deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, we had valuation allowances of $19 million. We believe our remaining deferred tax assets will be realized because of the existence of sufficient taxable income within the carryforward period available under the tax law. As of December 31, 2014, our net tax operating loss carryforwards totaled $167 million, of which $21 million expire between 2030 and 2034, and the remainder does not expire. As of December 31, 2014, our foreign tax credit carryforwards totaled $165 million, which expire between 2021 and 2023.
Repatriation of Foreign Earnings
During the third quarter of 2014, we repatriated to the U.S. $450 million of our 2014 foreign earnings for the payment of dividends, share repurchases, interest on U.S.-issued debt, salaries for U.S.-based employees, and other corporate-level operations in the U.S. Our historical foreign earnings, including our 2014 foreign earnings that were not repatriated in 2014, will continue to remain permanently reinvested, and, if we do not generate sufficient current year foreign earnings to repatriate to the U.S. in any future given year, we expect to have adequate access to capital in the U.S. to allow us to satisfy our U.S.-based cash flow needs in that year. Therefore, historical foreign earnings and future foreign earnings that are not repatriated to the U.S. will remain permanently reinvested and will be used to service our foreign operations, non-U.S. debt, and to fund future acquisitions.
During the fourth quarter of 2013, we repatriated to the U.S. $450 million of our 2013 foreign earnings for the payment of dividends, share repurchases, interest on U.S.-issued debt, salaries for U.S.-based employees, and other corporate-level operations in the U.S. Our historical foreign earnings, including our 2013 foreign earnings that were not repatriated in 2013, will continue to remain permanently reinvested.
We had approximately $1.8 billion in cumulative undistributed foreign historical earnings as of December 31, 2014. These historical earnings are exclusive of amounts that would result in little or no tax under current tax laws if remitted in the future. The historical earnings from our foreign subsidiaries are considered to be permanently reinvested and, accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes has been made in our Consolidated Financial Statements. A distribution of these foreign historical earnings to the U.S. in the form of dividends, or otherwise, would subject us to U.S. income taxes, as adjusted for foreign tax credits, and withholding taxes payable to the various foreign countries. Determination of the amount of any unrecognized deferred income tax liability on these undistributed earnings is not practicable.
Other
We are subject to surtaxes on dividends and certain other distributions paid by some of our European entities, including those in France and Belgium, to entities outside of their jurisdiction. We recognize this incremental income tax only when one of these subsidiaries declares a taxable dividend. As of the end of 2014, we have undistributed retained earnings of $537 million that would be subject to this tax if distributed. If all of these undistributed retained earnings were to be declared as dividends, we would be subject to additional income taxes of approximately $21 million.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS	SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
	Share-Based Payment Awards
	We maintain share-based compensation plans that provide for the granting of non-qualified share options and restricted share units, some with performance and/or market conditions, to certain executive and management level employees. We believe that these awards better align the interests of our employees with the interests of our shareowners. During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, compensation expense related to our share-based payment awards totaled $28 million, $33 million, and $35 million, respectively, including expense related to the portion of converted share-based payment awards unvested as of the date of the Merger.

	Our share options (1) are granted with exercise prices equal to or greater than the fair value of our stock on the date of grant; (2) generally vest in three annual tranches over a period of 36 months; and (3) expire 10 years from the date of grant. Generally, when options are exercised, we issue new shares rather than issuing treasury shares.
	The following table summarizes the weighted average grant-date fair value per unit and assumptions that were used to estimate the grant-date fair values of the share options granted during the periods presented:
	Grant-Date Fair Value		2014				2013				2012
	Share options with service conditions		$	6.78			$	7.27			$	5.67

	Risk-free interest rate(C)		1.6		%		1.3		%		0.9		%
	Expected life(D)		5.0 years				5.0 years				6.0 years
	___________________________
	(A)	The dividend yield was calculated by dividing our annual dividend by our average stock price on the date of grant, taking into consideration our future expectations regarding our dividend yield.
	(B)	The expected volatility was determined by using a combination of the historical volatility of our stock (as well as Legacy CCE’s stock for periods prior to the Merger), the implied volatility of our exchange-traded options, and other factors, such as a comparison to our peer group.
	(C)	The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield with a term equal to the expected life on the date of grant.
	(D)	The expected life was used for options valued by the Black-Scholes model. It was determined by using a combination of actual exercise and post-vesting cancellation history for the types of employees included in the grant population.

	(A)	As of December 31, 2014, the aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and options exercisable was $164 million and $161 million, respectively.
	As of December 31, 2014, we had approximately $9 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to our unvested share options. We expect to recognize this compensation expense over a weighted average period of 1.7 years.
	Restricted Share Units
	Our restricted share units generally vest upon continued employment for a period of at least 36 months and the attainment of certain market conditions and performance targets. Our restricted share unit awards entitle the participant to hypothetical dividends (which are paid only if the restricted share units vest), but not voting rights. Unvested restricted share units are restricted as to disposition and subject to forfeiture.
	We granted 0.6 million, 0.5 million, and 0.7 million restricted share units during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. Approximately 0.4 million, 0.4 million, and 0.5 million of the restricted share units granted in 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively, were performance share units (PSUs) for which the ultimate number of shares earned is determined at the end of the stated performance period. The PSUs granted also contain a market condition that adjusts the number of PSUs otherwise earned based on the following year's EPS results. Specifically, the percentage of the target PSUs earned based on EPS growth is adjusted (upward or downward) based on our Total Shareholder Return (TSR) performance, as compared to the TSR of the companies in the S&P 500 over the performance period.
	The following table summarizes the weighted average grant-date fair value per unit and assumptions that were used to estimate the grant-date fair values of the restricted share units granted during the periods presented:

The ultimate vesting of these performance share units is subject to the participant satisfying the remaining service condition of the award.
(D)	Based on our financial results for the performance and market condition period, our 2013 performance share units will pay out at 149 percent of the target award. The ultimate vesting of these performance share units is subject to the participant satisfying the remaining service condition of the award.
(E)	The target awards for our performance share units are included in the preceding table and are adjusted, as necessary, in the period that the performance and/or market conditions are satisfied. The minimum, target, and maximum awards for our 2014 performance share units outstanding as of December 31, 2014 were 0.2 million, 0.4 million, and 0.9 million, respectively.
As of December 31, 2014, we had approximately $45 million in total unrecognized compensation expense related to our restricted share unit awards based on our current expectations for payout of our performance share units. We expect to recognize this compensation cost over a weighted average period of 2.4 years.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
EARNINGS PER SHARE	EARNINGS PER SHARE
	We calculate our basic earnings per share by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares and participating securities outstanding during the period. Our diluted earnings per share are calculated in a similar manner, but include the effect of dilutive securities. To the extent these securities are antidilutive, they are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.
	The following table summarizes our basic and diluted earnings per common share calculations for the periods presented (in millions, except per share data; per share data is calculated prior to rounding to millions):

	(A)	Outstanding options to purchase 1.0 million shares for both the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, and 1.5 million shares for the year ended December 31, 2012, were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because the effect of including these options in the computation would have been antidilutive. The dilutive impact of the remaining options outstanding and unvested restricted share units was included in the effect of dilutive securities.
	During 2014, we paid dividends of $246 million. In February 2014, our Board of Directors approved an increase in our quarterly dividend from $0.20 per share to $0.25 per share beginning in the first quarter of 2014, and in February 2015, our Board of Directors approved an increase in our quarterly dividend from $0.25 per share to $0.28 per share beginning in the first quarter of 2015.
	We have 100 million shares of preferred shares authorized. As of December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, there were no preferred shares outstanding.

Operating Segment [Abstract]
OPERATING SEGMENT	OPERATING SEGMENT
	We operate in one industry and have one operating segment. This segment derives its revenues from marketing, producing, and distributing nonalcoholic beverages. No single customer accounted for more than 10 percent of our net sales in 2014, 2013, or 2012.
	Our segment operating income includes the segment’s revenue less substantially all the segment’s cost of production, distribution, and administration. We evaluate the segment’s performance based on several factors, of which net sales and operating income are the primary financial measures.
	Additionally, mark-to-market gains/losses related to our non-designated commodity hedges are recognized in the earnings of our Corporate segment until such time as the underlying hedged transaction affects the earnings of our Europe operating segment. In the period the underlying hedged transaction occurs, the accumulated mark-to-market gains/losses related to the hedged transaction are reclassified from the earnings of our Corporate segment into the earnings of our Europe operating segment. This treatment allows our Europe operating segment to reflect the true economic effects of the underlying hedged transaction in the period the hedged transaction occurs without experiencing the mark-to-market volatility associated with these non-designated commodity hedges. For additional information about our non-designated hedges, refer to Note 5.

	Business Transformation Program
	In 2012, we announced a business transformation program designed to improve our operating model and create a platform for driving sustainable future growth. Through this program we have: (1) streamlined and reduced the cost structure of our finance support function, including the establishment of a centralized shared services center; (2) restructured our sales and marketing organization to better align central and field sales, and deployed standardized channel-focused organizations within each of our territories; and (3) improved the efficiency and effectiveness of certain aspects of our operations, including activities related to our cold-drink equipment.
	We are substantially complete with this program as of December 31, 2014, and our nonrecurring restructuring charges totaled $226 million, including severance, transition, consulting, accelerated depreciation, and lease termination costs. During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, we recorded nonrecurring restructuring charges under this program totaling $81 million, $99 million, and $46 million, respectively. Substantially all nonrecurring restructuring charges related to this program are included in SD&A on our Consolidated Statements of Income.

	(A)	Total cash paid during 2014 for these share repurchases totaled $912 million due to the timing of settlement.
	SHARE REPURCHASES
	Beginning in October 2010, our Board of Directors has approved a series of resolutions authorizing the repurchase of shares of our stock. Since 2010, we have repurchased $3.7 billion in outstanding shares, representing 112.4 million shares, under these resolutions. In December 2013, our Board of Directors authorized share repurchases for an aggregate price of not more than $1.0 billion. Share repurchase activity under this authorization commenced during the second quarter of 2014 when the share repurchases under the previous authorization were completed. We currently have $569 million in authorized share repurchases remaining under the December 2013 resolution. In December 2014, our Board of Directors approved a resolution to authorize additional share repurchases for an aggregate price of not more than $1.0 billion.
	We can repurchase shares in the open market and in privately negotiated transactions. Repurchased shares are added to treasury stock and are available for general corporate purposes, including acquisition financing and the funding of various employee benefit and compensation plans. We currently expect to purchase approximately $600 million in outstanding shares during 2015 under our share repurchase program, subject to economic, operating, and other factors, including acquisition opportunities. In addition to market conditions, we consider alternative uses of cash and/or debt, balance sheet ratios, and shareowner returns when evaluating share repurchases.

BUSINESS_AND_SUMMARY_OF_SIGNIF1

BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policy)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2014
Business and Reporting Policies [Abstract]
Business	Business
	We are a marketer, producer, and distributor of nonalcoholic beverages. We market, produce, and distribute our products to customers and consumers through licensed territory agreements in Belgium, continental France, Great Britain, Luxembourg, Monaco, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden. We operate in the highly competitive beverage industry and face strong competition from other general and specialty beverage companies. Our financial results are affected by a number of factors, including, but not limited to, consumer preferences, cost to manufacture and distribute products, foreign currency exchange rates, general economic conditions, local and national laws and regulations, raw material availability, and weather patterns.
	Sales of our products tend to be seasonal, with the second and third quarters accounting for higher unit sales of our products than the first and fourth quarters. In a typical year, we earn more than 60 percent of our annual operating income during the second and third quarters. The seasonality of our sales volume, combined with the accounting for fixed costs such as depreciation, amortization, rent, and interest expense, impacts our results on a quarterly basis. Additionally, year-over-year shifts in holidays, selling days, and weather patterns can impact our results on an annual or quarterly basis.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation	Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
	Our Consolidated Financial Statements include all entities that we control by ownership of a majority voting interest. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
	Our fiscal year ends on December 31. For interim quarterly reporting convenience, our first three quarters close on the Friday closest to the end of the quarterly calendar period. There were the same number of selling days in 2014, 2013, and 2012 (based upon a standard five-day selling week).
	The following table summarizes the number of selling days by quarter for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012 (based on a standard five-day selling week):
		First		Second		Third		Fourth		Full
		Quarter		Quarter		Quarter		Quarter		Year
	2014	63		65		65		68		261
	2013	64		65		65		67		261
	2012	65		65		65		66		261
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates
	Our Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and include estimates and assumptions made by management that affect reported amounts. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Net Sales	Net Sales
	We recognize net sales when all of the following conditions are met: (1) evidence of a binding arrangement exists (generally, purchase orders); (2) products have been delivered and there is no future performance required; and (3) amounts are collectible under normal payment terms. For product sales, these conditions occur when the products are delivered to or picked up by our customers and, in the case of full-service vending, when cash is collected from vending machines. Revenue is stated net of sales discounts and marketing and promotional incentives paid to customers.
	We record value added taxes (VAT) on a net basis (i.e., excluded from net sales) and record excise taxes and taxes on packaging on a gross basis (i.e., included in net sales). During 2014, 2013, and 2012, the total amount of taxes recorded on a gross basis approximated $584 million, $555 million, and $500 million, respectively.
Customer Marketing Programs and Sales Incentive	Customer Marketing Programs and Sales Incentives
	We participate in various programs and arrangements with customers designed to increase the sale of our products. Among these programs are arrangements under which allowances can be earned by customers for attaining agreed-upon sales levels or for participating in specific marketing programs. Coupon programs are also developed on a customer- and territory-specific basis with the intent of increasing sales. We believe our participation in these programs is essential to ensuring volume and revenue growth in a competitive marketplace. The costs of all these various programs, included as a reduction in net sales, totaled $1.1 billion, $1.1 billion, and $1.0 billion in 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively.
	Under customer programs and arrangements that require sales incentives to be paid in advance, we amortize the amount paid over the period of benefit or contractual sales volume. When incentives are paid in arrears, we accrue the estimated amount to be paid based on the program’s contractual terms, expected customer performance, and/or estimated sales volume.
Licensor Support Arrangements	Licensor Support Arrangements
	We participate in various funding programs supported by TCCC or other licensors whereby we receive funds from the licensors to support customer marketing programs or other arrangements that promote the sale of the licensors’ products. Under these programs, certain costs incurred by us are reimbursed by the applicable licensor. Payments from TCCC and other licensors for marketing programs and other similar arrangements to promote the sale of products are classified as a reduction in cost of sales, unless we can overcome the presumption that the payment is a reduction in the price of the licensor’s products. Payments for marketing programs are recognized as product is sold.
	For additional information about our transactions with TCCC, refer to Note 3.
Shipping and Handling Costs	Shipping and Handling Costs
	Shipping and handling costs related to the movement of finished goods from our manufacturing locations to our sales distribution centers are included in cost of sales on our Consolidated Statements of Income. Shipping and handling costs incurred to move finished goods from our sales distribution centers to customer locations are included in selling, delivery, and administrative (SD&A) expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Income and totaled approximately $301 million, $275 million, and $314 million in 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. Our customers do not pay us separately for shipping and handling costs.
Share-Based Compensation	Share-Based Compensation
	We recognize compensation expense equal to the grant-date fair value for all share-based payment awards that are expected to vest. This expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the entire award, unless the awards are subject to performance conditions, in which case we recognize compensation expense over the requisite service period of each separate vesting tranche. We recognize compensation expense for our performance share units when it becomes probable that the performance criteria specified in the plan will be achieved. All compensation expense related to our share-based payment awards is recorded in SD&A expenses. We determine the grant-date fair value of our share-based payment awards using a Black-Scholes model, unless the awards are subject to market conditions, in which case we use a binomial-lattice model (e.g., Monte Carlo simulation model). The Monte Carlo simulation model utilizes multiple input variables to estimate the probability that market conditions will be achieved. Refer to Note 11.
Earnings Per Share	Earnings Per Share
	We calculate our basic earnings per share by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares and participating securities outstanding during the period. Our diluted earnings per share are calculated in a similar manner, but include the effect of dilutive securities. To the extent these securities are antidilutive, they are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. Share-based payment awards that are contingently issuable upon the achievement of a specified market or performance condition are included in our diluted earnings per share calculation in the period in which the condition is satisfied. Refer to Note 12.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with maturity dates of less than three months when acquired. As of December 31, 2014, substantially all of our total cash and cash equivalents was held by consolidated entities that are outside the U.S. Our disclosure of the cash and cash equivalents held by consolidated entities located outside the U.S. is not meant to imply the cash will be repatriated to the U.S. at a future date. Any future repatriation of foreign earnings to the U.S. will be based on actual U.S.-based cash flow needs and actual foreign entity cash available at the time of repatriation. We continually assess the counterparties and instruments we use to hold our cash and cash equivalents, with a focus on preservation of capital and liquidity.
Trade Accounts Receivable	Trade Accounts Receivable
	We sell our products to retailers, wholesalers, and other customers and extend credit, generally without requiring collateral, based on our evaluation of the customer’s financial condition. While we have a concentration of credit risk in the retail sector, we believe this risk is mitigated due to the diverse nature of the customers we serve, including, but not limited to, their type, geographic location, size, and beverage channel. Collections of our receivables are dependent on each individual customer’s financial condition and sales adjustments granted after the balance sheet date. We carry our trade accounts receivable at net realizable value. Typically, accounts receivable have terms of 40 to 60 days and do not bear interest. We monitor our exposure to losses on receivables and maintain allowances for potential losses or adjustments. We determine these allowances by (1) evaluating the aging of our receivables; (2) analyzing our history of adjustments; and (3) reviewing our high-risk customers. Past due receivable balances are written off when our efforts have been unsuccessful in collecting the amount due. We also carry credit insurance on a portion of our accounts receivable balance.
	The following table summarizes the change in our allowance for losses on trade accounts receivable for the periods presented (in millions):
		Accounts
		Receivable
		Allowance
	Balance at January 1, 2012	$	16
	Provision	4
	Write-offs	(3		)
	Balance at December 31, 2012	17
	Provision	2
	Write-offs	(3		)
	Balance at December 31, 2013	16
	Provision	8
	Write-offs	(5		)
	Currency translation adjustments	(2		)
	Balance at December 31, 2014	$	17
Inventories	Inventories
	We value our inventories at the lower of cost or market, and cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Inventories consist of raw materials and supplies (primarily including concentrate, other ingredients, and packaging) and finished goods, which also include direct labor and indirect production and overhead costs.
Property, Plant, and Equipment	Property, Plant, and Equipment
	Property, plant, and equipment is recorded at cost. Major property additions, replacements, and betterments are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs that do not extend the useful life of an asset or add new functionality are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the respective estimated useful lives of our assets. Our cold-drink equipment and containers, such as reusable crates, shells, and bottles, are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of each group of equipment, as determined using the group-life method. Under this method, we do not recognize gains or losses on the disposal of individual units of equipment when the disposal occurs in the normal course of business. We capitalize the costs of refurbishing our cold-drink equipment and depreciate those costs over the estimated period until the next scheduled refurbishment or until the equipment is retired. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the remaining lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvement.
	The following table summarizes the classification of depreciation and amortization expense in our Consolidated Statements of Income for the periods presented (in millions):
	Location – Statements of Income		2014				2013				2012
	Selling, delivery, and administrative expenses		$	192			$	190			$	214
	Cost of sales		117				118				121
	Total depreciation and amortization		$	309			$	308			$	335
	Our interests in assets acquired under capital leases are included in property, plant, and equipment and primarily relate to buildings and fleet assets. Amortization of capital lease assets is included in depreciation expense. Our net interests in assets acquired under capital leases totaled $21 million as of December 31, 2014 (gross cost of $82 million, net of accumulated amortization of $61 million). The net present values of amounts due under capital leases are recorded as liabilities and are included within our total debt. Refer to Note 6.
	We assess the recoverability of the carrying amount of our property, plant, and equipment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. If we determine that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group is not recoverable based upon the expected undiscounted future cash flows of the asset or asset group, we record an impairment loss equal to the excess of the carrying amount over the estimated fair value of the asset or asset group.
	We capitalize certain development costs associated with internal use software, including external direct costs of materials and services and payroll costs for employees devoting time to a software project. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the net amount of unamortized capitalized software costs included on our Consolidated Balance Sheets was $73 million and $66 million, respectively. Costs incurred during the preliminary project stage, as well as costs for maintenance and training, are expensed as incurred.
Taxes	Taxes
	We compute and report income taxes on a separate return basis and recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of our assets and liabilities. We establish valuation allowances if we believe that it is more likely than not that some or all of our deferred tax assets will not be realized. We do not recognize a tax benefit unless we conclude that it is more likely than not that the benefit will be sustained on audit by the taxing authority based solely on the technical merits of the associated tax position. If the recognition threshold is met, we recognize a tax benefit measured at the largest amount of the tax benefit that, in our judgment, is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized. We record interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax positions in interest expense, net and other nonoperating (expense) income, respectively, on our Consolidated Statements of Income. Refer to Note 10.
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)	Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
	Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income and other adjustments, including foreign currency translation adjustments, hedges of our net investments in our foreign subsidiaries, changes in the fair value of certain derivative financial instruments qualifying as cash flow hedges, and pension plan adjustments. We do not provide income taxes on currency translation adjustments (CTA), as the historical earnings from our foreign subsidiaries are considered to be permanently reinvested. If current year earnings are repatriated, the amount to be repatriated is determined in U.S. dollars and converted to the equivalent amount of foreign currency at the time of repatriation; therefore, the repatriation of current year earnings does not have an impact on the CTA component of our accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) balance.
	The following table summarizes our AOCI as of the dates presented (after tax; in millions):
			Currency Translations				Net Investment Hedges				Cash Flow Hedges(A)				Pension Plan Adjustments(B)			Total
	Balance at January 1, 2013		$	(41	)		$	(14	)		$	(22	)		$	(353	)	$	(430	)
	Other comprehensive income before reclassifications		82				(40		)		(6		)		21			57

	Balance at December 31, 2014		$	(441	)		$	112			$	(18	)		$	(367	)	$	(714	)
	___________________________
	(A)	For additional information about our cash flow hedges, refer to Note 5.
	(B)	For additional information about our pension plans, refer to Note 9.
Foreign Currency Translation	Foreign Currency Translation
	The assets and liabilities of our operations are translated from local currencies into our reporting currency, the U.S. dollar, at currency exchange rates in effect at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses from the translation of our results are included in AOCI on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Revenues and expenses are translated at average monthly currency exchange rates. Gains and losses arising from currency exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the local functional currency are included in other nonoperating (expense) income on our Consolidated Statements of Income.
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements
	The fair values of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their carrying amounts due to their short-term nature. The fair values of our debt instruments are estimated based on debt with similar maturities and credit quality and current market interest rates (refer to Note 6). The estimated fair values of our derivative instruments are calculated based on market rates to settle the instruments. These values represent the estimated amounts we would receive upon sale or pay upon transfer, taking into consideration current market rates and credit risk.
	The following tables summarize our assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) as of the dates presented (in millions):
		December 31, 2014				Quoted Prices in				Significant				Significant
						Active Markets				Other				Unobservable
						for Identical				Observable				Inputs (Level 3)
						Assets (Level 1)				Inputs
										(Level 2)
	Derivative assets(A)	$	85			$	—			$	85			$	—
	Pension plan assets(B)	1,530				290				1,185				55
	Total assets	$	1,615			$	290			$	1,270			$	55
	Derivative liabilities(A)	$	76			$	—			$	76			$	—

	Derivative liabilities(A)	$	92			$	—			$	92			$	—
	___________________________
	(A)	We calculate derivative asset and liability amounts using a variety of valuation techniques, depending on the specific characteristics of the hedging instrument, taking into account credit risk. The fair value of our derivative contracts (including forwards, options, cross-currency swaps, and interest rate swaps) is determined using standard valuation models. The significant inputs used in these models are readily available in public markets or can be derived from observable market transactions and, therefore, our derivative contracts have been classified as Level 2. Inputs used in these standard valuation models include the applicable spot, forward, and discount rates. The standard valuation model for our option contracts also includes implied volatility, which is specific to individual options and is based on rates quoted from a widely used third-party resource.
	(B)	For additional information about our pension plan assets, including the determination of fair value, refer to Note 9.
Derivative Financial Instruments	Derivative Financial Instruments
	We utilize derivative financial instruments to mitigate our exposure to certain market risks associated with our ongoing operations. The primary risks that we seek to manage through the use of derivative financial instruments include currency exchange risk, commodity price risk, and interest rate risk. All derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. While certain of our derivative instruments are designated as hedging instruments, we also enter into derivative instruments that are designed to hedge a risk, but are not designated as hedging instruments (referred to as an “economic hedge” or “non-designated hedges”). Changes in the fair value of these non-designated hedging instruments are recognized in the expense line item on our Consolidated Statements of Income that is consistent with the nature of the hedged risk. We are exposed to counterparty credit risk on all of our derivative financial instruments. We have established and maintain strict counterparty credit guidelines and enter into hedges only with financial institutions that are investment grade or better. We continuously monitor counterparty credit risk and utilize numerous counterparties to minimize our exposure to potential defaults. We do not require collateral under these agreements. Refer to Note 5.
Franchise license intangible assets and goodwill, policy	Our franchise license agreements contain performance requirements and convey to us the rights to distribute and sell products of the licensor within specified territories. Our license agreements with TCCC for each of our territories have terms of 10 years and expire on October 2, 2020, with each containing the right for us to request a 10-year renewal. While these agreements contain no automatic right of renewal beyond that date, we believe that our interdependent relationship with TCCC and the substantial cost and disruption to TCCC that would be caused by nonrenewals ensure that these agreements will continue to be renewed and, therefore, are essentially perpetual. We have never had a franchise license agreement with TCCC terminated due to nonperformance of the terms of the agreement or due to a decision by TCCC to terminate an agreement at the expiration of a term. After evaluating the contractual provisions of our franchise license agreements, our mutually beneficial relationship with TCCC, and our history of renewals, we have assigned indefinite lives to all of our franchise license intangible assets.
	We do not amortize our franchise license intangible assets and goodwill. Instead, we test these assets for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate they may be impaired.
Operating Leases, Policy	We lease land, office and warehouse space, computer hardware, machinery and equipment, and vehicles under noncancelable operating lease agreements expiring at various dates through 2027. Some lease agreements contain standard renewal provisions that allow us to renew the lease at rates equivalent to fair market value at the end of the lease term. Under lease agreements that contain escalating rent provisions, lease expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Under lease agreements that contain rent holidays, rent expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the entire lease term, including the period covered by the rent holiday. Rent expense under noncancelable operating lease agreements totaled $86 million, $89 million, and $87 million during 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively.

	___________________________
	(A)	We calculate derivative asset and liability amounts using a variety of valuation techniques, depending on the specific characteristics of the hedging instrument, taking into account credit risk. The fair value of our derivative contracts (including forwards, options, cross-currency swaps, and interest rate swaps) is determined using standard valuation models. The significant inputs used in these models are readily available in public markets or can be derived from observable market transactions and, therefore, our derivative contracts have been classified as Level 2. Inputs used in these standard valuation models include the applicable spot, forward, and discount rates. The standard valuation model for our option contracts also includes implied volatility, which is specific to individual options and is based on rates quoted from a widely used third-party resource.
	(B)	For additional information about our pension plan assets, including the determination of fair value, refer to Note 9.

Investments in common and preferred stocks are valued using quoted market prices multiplied by the number of shares owned. Investments in common trust funds are valued at the net asset value per share multiplied by the number of shares held as of the measurement date (as of December 31, 2014, it is not probable that we will sell these investments at an amount other than net asset value).
	(B)	Investments other than those held in common trust funds are valued utilizing a market approach that includes various valuation techniques and sources such as value generation models, broker quotes in active and non-active markets, benchmark yields and securities, reported trades, issuer spreads, and/or other applicable reference data.
	(C)	Short-term investments are valued at $1.00/unit, which approximates fair value. Amounts are generally invested in actively managed common trust funds or interest-bearing accounts.
	(D)	Real estate funds are valued at net asset value, which is calculated using the most recent partnership financial reports, adjusted, as appropriate, for any lag between the date of the financial reports and the measurement date (as of December 31, 2014, it is not probable that we will sell these investments at an amount other than net asset value).
	(E)	Insurance contracts are valued at book value, which approximates fair value, and is calculated using the prior year balance adjusted for investment returns and changes in cash flows.
	(F)	Hedge funds are held in private investment funds. These investments are valued based primarily on the net asset value, which is provided by the management of each private investment fund, multiplied by the number of shares held as of the measurement date, net of any accrued management and incentive fees due to the fund managers (as of December 31, 2014, it is not probable that we will sell these investments at an amount other than net asset value).

	Total provision for income taxes	$	230		$	138		$	160
	___________________________
	(A)	Our effective tax rate reflects the benefit of having all of our operations outside the U.S., most of which are taxed at statutory rates lower than the statutory U.S. rate of 35 percent, and the benefit of some income being fully or partially exempt from income taxes due to various operating and financing activities.
	(B)	During the third quarter of 2014, France extended the temporary corporate income tax surcharge of 10.7 percent to the year 2015. As a result, we recognized a deferred tax benefit of approximately $1 million during the third quarter of 2014 related to net deferred tax assets that are expected to be realized in 2015.
	(C)	During the third quarter of 2013, the United Kingdom enacted a corporate income tax rate reduction of 3 percentage points, 2 percentage points effective April 1, 2014, and 1 percentage point effective April 1, 2015. As a result, we recognized a deferred tax benefit of $71 million during the third quarter of 2013 to reflect this change.
	(D)	During the third quarter of 2012, the United Kingdom enacted a corporate income tax rate reduction of 2 percentage points, 1 percentage point retroactive to April 1, 2012, and 1 percentage point effective April 1, 2013. As a result, we recognized a deferred tax benefit of $50 million during the third quarter of 2012 to reflect the impact of this change.
	(E)	During the fourth quarter of 2012, Sweden enacted a corporate income tax rate reduction of 4.3 percentage points. As a result, we recognized a deferred tax benefit of $20 million during the fourth quarter of 2012 to reflect this change.
	(F)	During the fourth quarter of 2012, Belgium enacted a tax law change. As a result, we recognized a valuation allowance of $8 million during the fourth quarter of 2012 to reflect the impact of this change.

Share-based Compensation [Abstract]
Summary of Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value and Assumptions Used to Estimate Grant Date Fair Value of Options Granted	The following table summarizes the weighted average grant-date fair value per unit and assumptions that were used to estimate the grant-date fair values of the share options granted during the periods presented:
	Grant-Date Fair Value		2014				2013				2012
	Share options with service conditions		$	6.78			$	7.27			$	5.67
	Assumptions:
	Dividend yield(A)		2.6		%		2.5		%		2.25		%
	Expected volatility(B)		22.5		%		25		%		25		%
	Risk-free interest rate(C)		1.6		%		1.3		%		0.9		%
	Expected life(D)		5.0 years				5.0 years				6.0 years
	___________________________
	(A)	The dividend yield was calculated by dividing our annual dividend by our average stock price on the date of grant, taking into consideration our future expectations regarding our dividend yield.
	(B)	The expected volatility was determined by using a combination of the historical volatility of our stock (as well as Legacy CCE’s stock for periods prior to the Merger), the implied volatility of our exchange-traded options, and other factors, such as a comparison to our peer group.
	(C)	The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield with a term equal to the expected life on the date of grant.
	(D)	The expected life was used for options valued by the Black-Scholes model. It was determined by using a combination of actual exercise and post-vesting cancellation history for the types of employees included in the grant population.

	SHARE REPURCHASES
	Beginning in October 2010, our Board of Directors has approved a series of resolutions authorizing the repurchase of shares of our stock. Since 2010, we have repurchased $3.7 billion in outstanding shares, representing 112.4 million shares, under these resolutions. In December 2013, our Board of Directors authorized share repurchases for an aggregate price of not more than $1.0 billion. Share repurchase activity under this authorization commenced during the second quarter of 2014 when the share repurchases under the previous authorization were completed. We currently have $569 million in authorized share repurchases remaining under the December 2013 resolution. In December 2014, our Board of Directors approved a resolution to authorize additional share repurchases for an aggregate price of not more than $1.0 billion.
	We can repurchase shares in the open market and in privately negotiated transactions. Repurchased shares are added to treasury stock and are available for general corporate purposes, including acquisition financing and the funding of various employee benefit and compensation plans. We currently expect to purchase approximately $600 million in outstanding shares during 2015 under our share repurchase program, subject to economic, operating, and other factors, including acquisition opportunities. In addition to market conditions, we consider alternative uses of cash and/or debt, balance sheet ratios, and shareowner returns when evaluating share repurchases.

[1]	We calculate derivative asset and liability amounts using a variety of valuation techniques, depending on the specific characteristics of the hedging instrument, taking into account credit risk. The fair value of our derivative contracts (including forwards, options, cross-currency swaps, and interest rate swaps) is determined using standard valuation models. The significant inputs used in these models are readily available in public markets or can be derived from observable market transactions and, therefore, our derivative contracts have been classified as Level 2. Inputs used in these standard valuation models include the applicable spot, forward, and discount rates. The standard valuation model for our option contracts also includes implied volatility, which is specific to individual options and is based on rates quoted from a widely used third-party resource.

[1]	For additional information about our pension plan assets, including the determination of fair value, refer to Note 9.
[2]	Equity securities are comprised of the following investment types: (1) common stock; (2) preferred stock; and (3) common trust funds. Investments in common and preferred stocks are valued using quoted market prices multiplied by the number of shares owned. Investments in common trust funds are valued at the net asset value per share multiplied by the number of shares held as of the measurement date (as of December 31, 2014, it is not probable that we will sell these investments at an amount other than net asset value).
[3]	nvestments other than those held in common trust funds are valued utilizing a market approach that includes various valuation techniques and sources such as value generation models, broker quotes in active and non-active markets, benchmark yields and securities, reported trades, issuer spreads, and/or other applicable reference data.
[4]	Insurance contracts are valued at book value, which approximates fair value, and is calculated using the prior year balance adjusted for investment returns and changes in cash flows.
[5]	Short-term investments are valued at $1.00/unit, which approximates fair value. Amounts are generally invested in actively managed common trust funds or interest-bearing accounts.
[6]	Real estate funds are valued at net asset value, which is calculated using the most recent partnership financial reports, adjusted, as appropriate, for any lag between the date of the financial reports and the measurement date (as of December 31, 2014, it is not probable that we will sell these investments at an amount other than net asset value).
[7]	Hedge funds are held in private investment funds. These investments are valued based primarily on the net asset value, which is provided by the management of each private investment fund, multiplied by the number of shares held as of the measurement date, net of any accrued management and incentive fees due to the fund managers (as of December 31, 2014, it is not probable that we will sell these investments at an amount other than net asset value).

Our effective tax rate reflects the benefit of having all of our operations outside the U.S., most of which are taxed at statutory rates lower than the statutory U.S. rate of 35 percent, and the benefit of some income being fully or partially exempt from income taxes due to various operating and financing activities.

[2]

During the third quarter of 2014, France extended the temporary corporate income tax surcharge of 10.7 percent to the year 2015. As a result, we recognized a deferred tax benefit of approximately $1 million during the third quarter of 2014 related to net deferred tax assets that are expected to be realized in 2015.

[3]

During the fourth quarter of 2012, Belgium enacted a tax law change. As a result, we recognized a valuation allowance of $8 million during the fourth quarter of 2012 to reflect the impact of this change.

[4]

During the third quarter of 2012, the United Kingdom enacted a corporate income tax rate reduction of 2 percentage points, 1 percentage point retroactive to April 1, 2012, and 1 percentage point effective April 1, 2013. As a result, we recognized a deferred tax benefit of $50 million during the third quarter of 2012 to reflect the impact of this change.

[5]

During the third quarter of 2013, the United Kingdom enacted a corporate income tax rate reduction of 3 percentage points, 2 percentage points effective April 1, 2014, and 1 percentage point effective April 1, 2015. As a result, we recognized a deferred tax benefit of $71 million during the third quarter of 2013 to reflect this change.

[6]

During the fourth quarter of 2012, Sweden enacted a corporate income tax rate reduction of 4.3 percentage points. As a result, we recognized a deferred tax benefit of $20 million during the fourth quarter of 2012 to reflect this change.

[1]	The dividend yield was calculated by dividing our annual dividend by our average stock price on the date of grant, taking into consideration our future expectations regarding our dividend yield.
[2]	The expected volatility was determined by using a combination of the historical volatility of our stock (as well as Legacy CCE’s stock for periods prior to the Merger), the implied volatility of our exchange-traded options, and other factors, such as a comparison to our peer group.
[3]	The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield with a term equal to the expected life on the date of grant.
[4]	The expected life was used for options valued by the Black-Scholes model. It was determined by using a combination of actual exercise and post-vesting cancellation history for the types of employees included in the grant population.

[1]	The dividend yield was calculated by dividing our annual dividend by our average stock price on the date of grant, taking into consideration our future expectations regarding our dividend yield.
[2]	The expected volatility was determined by using a combination of the historical volatility of our stock (as well as Legacy CCE’s stock for periods prior to the Merger), the implied volatility of our exchange-traded options, and other factors, such as a comparison to our peer group.
[3]	The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield with a term equal to the expected life on the date of grant.
[4]	We have determined the grant-date fair value for these awards using a Monte Carlo simulation model since they are subject to a market condition.
