I can't take the 'Catalan' argument too serious. The EU may have no interest in breaking up its members, and Spain certainly may feel uneasy about a break up of the UK but it would go against the basic tenets of the EU to exclude a country for no other reason than that its people used their right to self-determination.

A veto against Scottish membership on that basis would be a clear violation of the Copenhagen criteria.
