1/ The UK's position paper is a detailed and well presented document. It sets out very clearly the kind of relationship the Government is seeking with the EU and puts criticism it isn't providing clarity about what it wants to bed. A few bits I thought stood out...
2/ Like the EU mandate it envisages zero tariffs/quotas but on different terms. Notably there's no Level Playing Field. Barnier calls this 'super preferential access' and says it would be unprecedented. But UK officials argue the jump from CETA (98% tariff/quota free) is small.
3/ The LPF is replaced with an FTA chapter on fair competition, modelled on CETA. There will be no 'legal or regulatory alignment'. Like in CETA, the UK proposes this part shouldn't be subject to dispute settlement. But it's also the area the EU wants the greatest reassurances. 
4/ The EU sees this as the UK walking away from the commitments to an LPF made in the Political Declaration which includes a reference to 'enforcement and dispute settlement'. The UK counters that many of the EU's LPF asks aren't in the PD because it has already rejected them.
5/ There are non-regression commitments on labour, environment, tax, and competition laws as was agreed by the two sides in the PD. However, there is no commitment for the UK to keep pace with updates to EU standards over time, as is being asked for by Brussels.
6/ There's a big gulf between the sides over the architecture of the future relationship. The EU wants an Association Agreement which has one overarching LPF and governance structure covering everything. The UK proposes a series of separate deals on trade, security, aviation etc.
7/ Which brings us to fishing. The UK's proposal separates tariff/quota free trade in fisheries products within the FTA from an entirely separate deal on fishing rights with its own dispute settlement. The EU has repeatedly made clear its view the two must be directly linked.
8/ The UK makes a big play of there being no role for the ECJ in the future relationship at all. To that end, there must be no EU law in the deal for it to be 'ultimate arbiter' of. The EU will argue this stance constrains the scope of defence/security cooperation in particular.
9/ Britain is asking for UK hauliers to be allowed to continue to operate throughout the EU 'with no quantitive restrictions'. The paper acknowledges there's no precedent for this in EU deals and it's a big ask. The EU says cabotage rights will end for UK hauliers after Brexit.
10/ Finally, Geographical Indications. Existing ones are guaranteed in the Withdrawal Agreement and the EU wants a deal to ensure new ones in are protected too in future. But the UK is more coy in its approach. These really matter to producers, so it's an issue to keep an eye on.
