Of course the Germans want to eliminate the ability of individual member nations to veto EU policy. 

They know that the dynamics of power in the European Union are such that they can always coerce a simple majority:

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Monday called on EU members to abandon the right to veto in favor of majority voting in a number of key areas. Such a move could facilitate the bloc’s future expansion.

………

“Where unanimity is required today, the risk of an individual country using its veto and preventing all the others from forging ahead increases with each additional member state,” the German chancellor said.

………

The German leader also wants the EU to switch to majority voting in areas such as taxation and foreign policy, adding that he knows “full well that this would also have repercussions for Germany.”

He's lying when he says that.  The Germans expect to dominate the alliance ad infinitum.

………

As it currently stands, any of the 27 EU members can override a decision supported by the other countries. This gives small states significant leverage on the bloc’s policies, which can at times paralyze decision-making.

If the EU wants majority rule, they need to implement real democratic government in the EU, and establish the primacy of voter elected representatives over the current bureaucratic structures.
