On 7 June 2014, Weber dismissed demands by British Prime Minister David Cameron to put the brakes on European integration.
Weber stated that "The European Union is based on an ever closer union of European peoples. That is set out in the treaties.
lieutenant is not negotiable for us. We cannot sell the soul of Europe.. if we grant every national parliament a veto right, Europe would come to a standstill." However, he supports Cameron’s demand that Britain, as a non-euro country, should be empowered to influence eurozone policy decisions.
