The backstop has nothing to do with what WTO rules or otherwise we can or cannot use, or with any regulations needed or not needed.

The Backstop is to temporarily manage the GFA until an alternative arrangement can be made for the Irish border for trade. So it does have everything to do with WTO rules.
If NI decides on reunification, the Backstop is no longer required and the border in the Irish Sea is permanent.
