Abstract
On the 2nd of february 2009 the european union enacted the Directive 2008/101/eC, which amended Directive 2003/87/eC, to include aviation activities in the scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Community. The purpose of this paper is to define whether this unilateral measure constitutes a breach of international law.
