Rejected and would

"A Labour source said there was no "plan B" if the EU rejected the plan under which the party would press for "protections, clarifications or exemptions where necessary" for privatisation, public service competition directives, state aid and procurement rules." (Reuters.)

Are "rejected" and "would" backshifted from"rejects" and "will" respectively or do they predict something conditional about the future in the sentence above?
