Re: Brexit-Transitional Period Ends 31/12/20

Brexit talks will resume despite UK rejecting EU ultimatum

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-54112973

a few quotes:

Quote:
The EU has threatened the UK government with legal action if it does not ditch its controversial Internal Market Bill by the end of the month

The new law would give UK ministers powers to modify or "disapply" rules relating to the movement of goods that will come into force from 1 January, if the UK and EU are unable to strike a trade deal.

The publication of the bill prompted emergency talks on Thursday, in which the EU said the planned changes must be scrapped or risk jeopardising the UK-EU trade talks.

Meanwhile, trade talk negotiators on both sides have acknowledged they are still clashing on "significant" issues.
Now I'm not the brainiest chap here (although I can read without moving my lips), but it looks to me like a gentle nudge suggesting if no deal is what we end up with, changes to existing 'agreements' will be made to reflect this.
