The backstop is meant to be about regulatory alignment. Well guess what, even without the backstop, day 1 of Brexit would still have UK wide regulatory alignment. Even imports from non-EU countries will still have the same EU compliance.

ECJ rules on those regulations in the EU, the UK rules on them in the UK. Nothing wrong in that. If and when, any regulations diverge then it becomes more complicated. But it is still no different to current EU countries trading with each other. Eg recent case of company in the Czech Republic(?) selling non-EU compliant goods, or several EU countries selling horse meat masquerading as beef. Any future divergence in regulatory alignment is not likely to be that great in nature and will take time.

So what exactly is the EUs problem?
