Case-272/15 | Decision 377/2013/EU, Directive 2008/101/EC | Swiss International Air Lines AG/ UK Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, Environment Agency | Does Decision 377/2013/EU infringe the EU principle of equal treatment by establishing a moratorium on the surrender of emission allowances for flights between EEA states and non-EEA states, but not for flights between EEA states and CH? | 12.12.2016 |
The fact that the moratorium on extra- EEA flights does not apply to flights from and to Swiss airports does not infringe on the principle of equal treatment, which does not apply vis-à-vis third countries. |
