A special case arises, however, when the predecessor state was signatory to a human rights treaty, since it would be desirable to hold the successor state accountable to the terms of that treaty, regardless of the successor state's desires
“Leaving the UK means leaving the EU, and one needs to negotiate one’s way back as an accession candidate. It would take some time and I don’t think it could be done in advance [of the referendum].
Avery’s evidence stated: “For practical and political reasons, they [Scotland] could not be asked to leave the EU and apply for re-admission.”
However, Spain’s foreign minister, José Manuel Garcia-Margallo, took a different view last month when he told the senate in Madrid that, after independence, Scotland would have to “join the queue” and win the support of all 27 member states before being allowed in the EU
Salmond has said he wants Scotland to opt out of the euro and keep the pound while operating in a “sterling zone”

obviously it is not clear then whether the vote has to be unanimous and the terms of succession are open to interpretation if Scotland wants in - - - there is also a question of discrimination and of having to justify a decision to make a veto - - - Spains wrangle with Catalonia is an entirely different matter and nothing to do with Scotland they should not be allowed to bring their squabbles and resentments into it - - - why should Scotland be punished for their internal difficulties that would set a mould for future playground tactics within the EU
anyone fancy writing Spains school report ?

But they said an independent Scotland could be "fast-tracked" into EU membership "if Scottish independence is the expression of the democratic will of the people and if the United Kingdom resolves the matter in a procedurally fair and transparent manner"
4. The EU has no historical precedent for dealing with Scottish independence. The following cases are relevant, but hardly constitute precedents
5. German reunification represents in some ways the opposite of Scottish independence: it was enlargement without accession, whereas Scottish independence would be accession without enlargement. Nevertheless it is pertinent for the Scottish case from the point of view of procedure. Under pressure of the date for reunification, the EU adopted a simplified procedure for negotiation under which the Commission explored with Bonn and Berlin the changes needed in EU legislation, and its proposals were approved rapidly by the Council of Ministers and European Parliament. No EU intergovernmental conference was necessary because there was no modification of the EU Treaties
6. However, for Scotland a modification of the EU Treaties would be necessary, if only to provide for Scottish representation in the EU institutions (number of members of European Parliament, number of votes in Council of Ministers, etc.)
In general one would expect these matters to be solved on a temporary basis by means of a roll-over mutatis mutandis of existing arrangements for the U.K. until the relevant EU rules come up for revision, for example the renegotiation of fishing quotas

there you go a roll over, if Scotland wants in, committee decision as to what rolls over all very fluid apparently a fuzzy statute du jour made over tea and crumpet as to which type of marmalade Prince Phillip fancies that day - - - hopefully anticipating the freshest lemon sole later at dinner - - -
