We study the remote implementation of a unitary transformation on a qubit. We show the existence of non-trivial protocols (i.e., using less resources than bidirectional state teleportation) which allow the perfect remote implementation of certain continuous sets of quantum operations. We prove that, up to a local change of basis, only two subsets exist that can be implemented remotely with a non-trivial protocol: Arbitrary rotations around a fixed direction ~ n and rotations by a fixed angle around an arbitrary direction lying in a plane orthogonal to ~ n. The overall classical information and distributed entanglement cost required for the remote implementation depends on whether it is a priori known to which of the two teleportable subsets the transformation belongs to. If it is so, the optimal protocol consumes one e-bit of entanglement and one c-bit in each direction. If the subset is not known, two e-bits of entanglement need to be consumed while the classical channel becomes asymmetric, two c-bits are conveyed from Alice to Bob but only one from Bob to Alice.
