Brexit: EU leaders set to move talks on to next stage
Mrs May
Mrs May  was applauded by other leaders at dinner in Brussels on Thursday night after  she  made a speech about Brexit.
But the round of applause during Thursday's dinner suggests the process is more or less on track - and indicates a degree of support in Europe for  Mrs May   says the BBC's Europe correspondent Kevin Connolly.
During the dinner with the 27 other EU leaders   Mrs May  urged them to approve an agreement to move Brexit talks on to a second phase.
In a brief speech   she  stressed  her  keenness to get on with shaping a "deep and special" future partnership as quickly as possible  leaving no doubt that  she  believes  she  was "on course to deliver Brexit".
 She  said  she  made "no secret" of wanting to move on to the next phase and to approaching it with "ambition and creativity".
"A particular priority should be agreement on the implementation period so that we can bring greater certainty to businesses in the UK and across the 27 "  she  said.
In applauding Mrs May  Mr Juncker said  her  EU colleagues "felt that  she  did make a big effort and this has to be recognised" while Austrian Chancellor Christian Kern said he appreciated " her  efforts and engagement".
 Mrs May  has said the Brexit process is still "on course" despite  her  defeat in a Parliamentary vote on Wednesday night.
Speaking in Brussels   Mrs May  said  she  was "disappointed" at the vote on the EU Withdrawal Bill  but the legislation was making "good progress".
Meanwhile   Mrs May  is facing a further challenge next week when MPs vote on a government amendment to enshrine the Brexit date of 29 March 2019 in law.
The BBC's political editor Laura Kuenssberg said there was no sign so far that  Mrs May  was going to budge on the issue but further compromises could be "forced on  her ".
