That's a problem for the EU to find a solution for. |
It’s called an analogy. I framed it in terms easier for you to understand.
You’ve denoted a risk there that could be picked up by border checks - which is why the backstop is necessary to prevent a hard border. That’s literally the whole point.
The UK could, for example, conduct random exit checks.
That’s not the same as an open border leaking products into the EU.
