I doubt anyone expects the EU to accept the UK's White Paper in its entireity but after two years they must be relieved to have something from the UK!
The transition period is not two years, Pip. Brexit Day is 29th March 2019 and the transition period ends 31st December 2020. Three months will probably be quite important here.
