A unilateral action by the UK triggers infringement proceedings; that's how the EU works. Seen from the UK side in the context of its NI problems, I don't see how the Guvmin could have done anything other than what it's doing. The UK should have walked away.
A unilateral action by either side would trigger infringement proceedings.

The Government should have used the Joint Committee to secure an extension. That's what the mechanism is there for and is what the UK agreed to. Why have an agreement and not use it?
