We’d be entering into any such agreement of our own accord. Anything the EU proposed to introduce in the next year could be immediately overturned at the end of the transition.

For someone so eager to risk the lives of hundreds of thousands of your countrymen in the Coronavirus thread for the sake of a couple of percentage points on GDP you’re getting quite emotional about 365 days, or about four Coronavirus lockdowns about the hypothetical introduction of rules you can’t name that could be overturned before they were even implemented fully in the UK.
If the EU is trying to dictate to us the imports we take in from other countries, yes, they are trying to bully us. I am not arguing that the EU should not be allowed to specify the standards for our exports to the EU, of course not - they have every right to do so. But that is not a problem for us, as we already meet them! This will not change.

However, they have no right to interfere with our trade with the rest of the world.

How you manage to think that this will damage our economy, I really cannot fathom! It's the measures we are taking regarding the coronavirus that will damage our economy.
