It's not a simplification. The two flags at the bottom South Korea and Canada relate to the two Next Generation deals based on the Canadian template in force in 2017.
That's pretty specific.
If they represented a menu of options, or just FTAs, there would be a lot more flags.

The problem we have here is that the EU were presenting something specifically based on their current trade policy, and people in the UK have decided to interpret it without understanding the EU current trade policy.
Normally, that would be put down to "just a misunderstanding", but what annoys me is that a few weeks ago that was *our current trade policy*.
And we have been inundated with politicians and political think tanks claiming that the EU are bad at doing trade deals.
If they have honestly looked at how the EU approaches trade deals, there really isn't any excuse for anyone to know exactly what this says.
