Official negotiations between the United Kingdom and the European Union regarding the U.K.'s future exit from the union begin on Monday, almost a year after the British people voted to leave the European Union.
As recently as last week the government had insisted that trade talks could take place at the same time as discussion of citizens' rights, the Northern Irish border, and financial settlements.
Mr Barnier said: "Our aim is to have one week of negotiations every month and use the time in between to work on proposals".
But May's mandate for a hard Brexit has since eroded after her Conservative party lost its parliamentary majority in the June 8 general election.
However, Mr Davis said the offer would not be published until next Monday, after Theresa May briefs European Union leaders on her intentions at a summit at the end of this week.
William Dartmouth MEP, the UKIP Trade spokesman, said: "The European Union, and the Quislings on the British side, have every incentive to delay these "negotiations" as much and as long as possible, in the hope of seeing the Referendum decision set-aside, or arriving at a "deal" whereby the United Kingdom leaves in the EU in name but not in substance".
"We have to commit ourselves now mutually to guarantee rights to citizens on either side of the Channel so they can continue their lives as in the past", Mr Barnier said.
The UK has now agreed to enter talks on divorce proceedings, including Britain's exit bill and the border with Northern Ireland, before any talks on future trading relations can begin.

Absa‚ which has not yet seen the report that contains the order‚ said it would study it before a possible legal review. But the country faces an apartheid-styled setback if politicians start meddling with the Reserve Bank's independence.
As the next round of talks begin, attention is likely to turn to the Brexit bill and the rights of European Union citizens living in the UK. "A deal like no other in history", Davis said in a statement as he headed into the talks.
A year after Britons shocked the continent by voting on June 23 to cut loose from their main export market, new debate within Prime Minister Theresa May's cabinet on precisely what kind of trading relationship to pursue has perplexed European Union leaders, who warn time is tight to agree terms before Britain leaves in 2019.
May herself will also have a chance to update the other 27 European Union leaders on her Brexit plans at a summit in Brussels on Thursday.
"The other is the determination to maintain an, as near as possible, invisible border so we do not undermine the peace process, do not provide any cause for concern in Northern Ireland". But Union leaders, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron, are also determined not to make concessions to Britain that might encourage others to follow.
"When we eventually get to the stage where the council decide we have made enough progress, both sets of dialogue will continue, including free trade". EU nations and the European Parliament will have to approve any future deal and that can take months.
British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said Monday he still thinks that the Brexit negotiations will yield "a happy resolution that can be done with profit and honor for both sides".
Mr Murray said it was "pie in the sky" to suggest that a trade and customs deal would secure the same access for to the European single market as EU membership.
