Brexit update: UK government shares confidential documents with EU on how to move forward
Confidential documents that "reflect the ideas the UK has put forward" on Brexit have been shared with the EU, the UK government has said.
Ministers will table "formal written solutions when we are ready" and not to an "artificial deadline", it added.
This comes after Finland's prime minister said Boris Johnson had 12 days to set out his Brexit plans to the EU.
The European Commission said documents had been received and technical talks were taking place.
European Commission spokeswoman Mina Andreeva also confirmed there would be talks at a political level at a meeting on Friday between the EU's chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, and Brexit Secretary Stephen Barclay.
The technical discussions were on some aspects of rules relating to customs and manufactured goods, as well as sanitary rules and phytosanitary rules - which relate to the health of plants - she said.
