欧盟于2008年通过2008/101指令将国际航空排放纳入其排放交易体系,即EUETS。欧盟这一行为引起了国际社会的强烈反应,抗议之声此起彼伏。为此,美国航空运输协会、美国航空公司、大陆航空公司和联合航空公司于2009年12月16日在英国高等法院联合起诉英国能源与气候变化部,主张2008/101指令违反有关国际法,因此是无效的。于是英国高等法院将该案提请欧洲法院作出初步裁决。欧洲法院经过审理认为,2008/101指令没有违反任何国际条约和习惯国际法,不存在影响其效力的因素,因此,指令是有效的。虽然美国航空业挑战欧盟指令的尝试失败了,但是这也为我国提供了一些经验和启示,以便有效地在国际航空减排中争取应有的话语权。
In 2008, the EU adopted the 2008/101 Directive to include international aviation emissions into its emissions trading system, namely, the EUETS. The EU action has aroused strong reactions from the international community, and the protests have come one after another. To this end, the United States Air Transport Association, American Airlines, Continental Airlines and United Airlines jointly prosecuted the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change in the High Court of England on December 16, 2009, arguing that the 2008/101 Directive violated relevant international law and was therefore Invalid. So the High Court of England brought the case to the European Court for a preliminary ruling. The European Court of Justice held that the 2008/101 Directive did not violate any international treaties and customary international law and that there were no factors that could affect its effectiveness. Therefore, the directive is valid. Although the attempt of the U.S. aviation industry to challenge the EU directive failed, it also provided some experiences and enlightenments for our country to effectively win the right of discourse in the reduction of international aviation.
