The term being used by UK govt in communications with the EU is “refinements”.
However UK is essentially requesting the EU (& it’s member states) to reopen the treaty for renegotiation.
EU Member states have been careful not to comment on this publicly.

Understood that the UK govt has a “shopping list” of items that they are requesting “refinements” to in the EU-UK Treaty.
These include, but are not limited to, Northern Ireland & the fishing industry.

EU understood to have “already rejected” a plea by the UK govt for “a 2 year extension to the ‘Grace Period’ for Northern Ireland” in communications with UK govt representatives.
