Weidmann Declines to Comment on Bank Tenure as Tension Mounts

``Weidmann has considered quitting over the ECB's plan to start a new round of sovereign bond purchases and discussed stepping down with the Bundesbank board, Bild said, citing unidentified people with knowledge of the situation. Weidmann, the only ECB council member opposed to the plan, has decided to remain in his post to defend his position at next week's policy meeting, the newspaper said.''
