From your link.
The negotiations are about the future, ie not the Withdrawal Agreement and not this year. Little point trying to renegotiate anything that would only apply for less than 5 months.  After the WA ends, what should happen? From that, currently UK GIs are not protected during the WA. The aim is, for after the period of the WA, that UK GIs are recognised. Rather than sticking with the current arrangement for something, if in the longer term that isn't desirable, why not seek to change it for the future? Perhaps the text of the article should have more correctly said "The UK team has made proposals to improve ON the arrangements in the Withdrawal Agreement". Basically we cannot change how UK GIs are treated for this year, but CAN try to change that from next year onwards. |
Perhaps you need to direct that question to David Frost, the Head of the UK’s negotiating team, as he’s the one who think’s there are defects in the existing Withdrawal Agreement...

A source close to the UK chief negotiator David Frost has said that the deal signed in January has “unfair defects” which Mr Johnson’s government did not have time to remedy but which Britain has now brought back to the table

Or you could ask BJ

However, the source also made it clear that the Prime Minister wants “defects” in the Withdrawal Agreement itself, made by his predecessor Theresa May and her chief negotiator Olly Robbins, to be fixed.

Also, got to love the way No. 10 are now trying to spin the WA as "Theresa May’s Withdrawal Agreement" - I’m sure it was BJ’s "oven ready agreement" when it went to the country / Houses of Parliament...
As BJ said 3 weeks before the Election

We’re going to get Brexit done with a deal that is pre-cooked, ready to go, oven-ready as I keep saying, approved not just by our friends in the EU but by every single one of the 635 Conservative candidates standing at this election
