BRUSSELS (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Theresa May and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker agreed over dinner in Brussels on Monday that the pace of Brexit negotiations should be stepped up in the coming months.

Describing the meeting which lasted around two hours as "constructive and friendly", a joint statement said they had "reviewed the progress made in the Article 50 negotiations so far and agreed that these efforts should accelerate over the months to come".
