The possibility of a declaration of independence by Catalonia not only was placed in the center of the debate in the regional elections of November 25, but being cast through the cracks of the European Commission. First broke Viviane Reding, Executive Vice President Europe, suggesting that Catalonia would not leave the EU in any case. Later the Spanish Government counterclaimed and requested Luxembourg to Brussels to speak with one voice on this issue. Now has been a spokeswoman for the Commission, which has indicated that Brussels will only give its opinion on the consequences of secession if the Spanish government formally requested his opinion.
"We do not express an opinion on internal constitutional issues as long as something hypothetical", said EU spokeswoman when asked about the possible secession of Catalonia and Scotland
"If a state we must then present a scenario would give an opinion," the spokesman added. Only in this case it would decide the executive headed by José Manuel Barroso on the impact that would have on the independence of EU treaties, that is, if the new state was formed would automatically be a member of the Union or the process should begin membership from the beginning.
"We must be abundantly clear. The EU can not recognize a unilateral declaration of independence of a part of a Member State and, in the unlikely event that under the constitutional law of that Member State shall produce such separation, the separated part would not be part of the Union " , the letter said that Inigo Mendez de Vigo, Secretary of State for the EU, shipping two weeks ago Reding on behalf of the Spanish government.
In the letter, Méndez de Vigo scolded "great confusion" that the statements of the EU Commissioner had generated saying that international law "says nothing" about the forced departure of the international part of a territory independence from a Member State. "Something that does not benefit in any way the Commission's own credibility," he added.
The president of the Generalitat, Artur Mas, has acknowledged in an interview on TV3 that "the small print of the treaty" Europe now expel an independent Catalonia, but added that this exclusion would be difficult to understand, so it has pedal reform legislation in this regard.
Brussels and a British MEP said in 2004 that "a new independent region would become, by virtue of its independence, in a third country on the Union and the treaties would not apply in their territory since the day of its independence." Therefore, if you want to be part of the EU, should submit an application for membership, it should be accepted unanimously by the European Council, which brings together the heads of state and government of each Member State, ie any member could veto their entry.
