That's not a surprising revelation. It's the default legal position (also the other way around too) as far as I am aware. It is what no deal is. It's not so much 'what they're contemplating' as it is 'the consequences of no deal'....
It's worth remembering that the EU has already suggested a Canada style trade deal:

The European Union's lead negotiator has suggested Britain will be forced to settle for a Canada-style trade deal after Brexit.
Michel Barnier claimed the UK's decision to leave the EU's single market and customs union means any future trade relationship will "have to work on a model that is closer to the agreement signed with Canada".

We have not gone in that direction because we don't think it works for how our economy works.
However this constant theme on here that the EU are turning everything down is fan-fiction. We didn't even set our own intentions until the other week.
