It was the expected date of an agreed solution at the time the talks started.
And then there was a joint statement on the 24th of February, a week before the U.K.’s unilateral statement.

Quote:
Further to the meeting of the Joint Committee co-chairs on 11 February 2021, the EU and the UK also took stock of the implementation of the Protocol on Ireland and Northern Ireland and of work to find pragmatic solutions. The parties acknowledged the importance of joint action to make the Protocol work for the benefit of everyone in Northern Ireland. In that spirit, the EU and UK reiterated their full commitment to the Good Friday (Belfast) Agreement in all its dimensions, and to the proper implementation of the Protocol. Building on the recent outreach by the Joint Committee co-chairs, there would be further joint engagement with business groups and other stakeholders in Northern Ireland. The UK and the EU underlined their shared commitment to giving effect to those solutions agreed through the Joint Committee on 17 December 2020, without delay. The UK noted that it would provide a new operational plan with respect to supermarkets and their suppliers, alongside additional investment in digital solutions for traders in accordance with the Protocol.
Noting the need for ongoing engagement and the shared desire to act at pace, the UK and EU agreed that a further Joint Committee would be held to provide further steers and where appropriate approvals, and would liaise on timings.

Re: Britain outside the EU
I think Chris Patten summed it up nicely when he said “This requires diplomacy which doesn’t assume that the best way to do origami is with a blowtorch."

From the preceding government quote, which is a combination of waffle and can kicked down the road, the blowtorch seems to be the right approach.

Chris Patten knows his stuff.
It's yet another poor decision made by David Frost who it's rumoured is so out of his depth that he wears a scuba diving suit to meetings. If he'd made better decisions last year, we wouldn't be in the shambles that we're in now. Even the US is losing patience with us and telling us to stop messing around and honour our agreements.

The US should stfu. It’s got it’s own domestic troubles.
The corrupted EU doesn’t know meaning of honour. But here we are again, the pathetic disgrace that is the constant; you siding with those corrupted cretins.

The US are a guarantor to the Good Friday Agreement, which is why they’re commenting.

No it isn't, for me and anyone that's paid any sort of attention the question is what's going on for there to be a need to give it a dip the chlorine bath and when you actually see what's going on you don't want to have anything to do with it

Let me guess. They take chickens, slit their throats, let them bleed out, a quick plunge in boiling water to make auto plucking easier then off to the chiller. Did I miss anything?
