Brexit: EU leaders agree to move talks to next stage - BBC News: "EU leaders have agreed to move Brexit talks on to the second phase but called for "further clarity" from the UK about its future intentions.
Talks will now move on to the long-term relationship between the UK and EU.
The first issue to be discussed, at talks next month, will be the terms of an expected two-year transition phase after the UK's March 2019 exit.
Theresa May welcomed the move as an "important step on the road" to ensuring a "smooth and orderly" exit.
While acknowledging "very significant progress" had been made, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the next phase would be "even tougher"."
