Belgiums biggest political party, currently involved in protracted government coalition talks after elections in May, is a New Flemish Alliance (N-VA), a separatist movement led by Bart De Wever who is a populist in the mould of Alex Salmond.
De Wever wants an independent Flemish nation in Europe at large. But would the same nationalist movements, which are very independent thinking, just accept the European majority rules? Europe as we know it, does not work with peoples who govern themselves like that, said Mr De Gucht.
The commissioner also hinted that dire warnings about the future of EU membership for an independent Scotland were because we had to tell them it was difficult. As part of the United Kingdom there is European legislation already in place, he claimed according to reports, comments that will add weight to SNP accusations of scaremongering by Europes political establishment.
The No vote is a big relief for the EU particularly amid concerns over Catalan plans to hold a unilateral referendum in six weeks time, potentially leading to the break up of Spain.
Artur Mas, the Catalan leader, will hold a press conference at midday in the wake of the defeat for Scottish independence, a result that will set back Catalonia's nationalists.
He is expected to shrug off the No vote and insist that Scotland's referendum remains the model as Catalan separatists continue to defy Spain's central government with a planned plebiscite on 9 November.
Mariano Rajoy, the Spanish prime minister, will be deeply relieved that an emergency cabinet meeting this morning will not have to deal with a Yes vote, taking some of the heat and urgency out a looming constitutional crisis.
Catalan's government had planned to push a referendum bill through its parliament today in defiance of Madrid's threat that Spain will act swiftly with full weight of law if Catalonia attempts an illegal vote to ultimately to break up the country.
Spaniards and Catalans will be watching to see how the Scottish result plays out in the hope that Catalonia blinks on the vote of that Madrid eases backs on threats to suspend the regions autonomous government.
The EU will breathe more easily as a No vote kills off the prospect of having to decide the fate of an independent Scotland and lowers the risk of the referendum triggering a wave of separatism.

Scottish independence 'like collapse of Communism'
BOSTON -- Mark Fisher, the tea-party Republican who was beaten handily by Charlie Baker in last week's gubernatorial primary, hasn't changed his mind much about the Republican nominee whom he has called "Democrat-lite" and "Democrat-heavy."
Fisher said he has vowed to "vote for the Republican" in the general election, but has yet to make up his mind whether to cast a ballot for Baker.
"It's a moving target. I'm going to wait and see if he moves back to the right, which would be a welcome thing, a welcome thing," Fisher told the News Service.
"My fear is that now he's in the general; he doesn't have a primary opponent; he'll move to track Democrat voters in the state, and that will be very troubling for me and all the other conservatives."
A Shrewsbury Republican who owns a metal-manufacturing company, Fisher was a newcomer to electoral politics who butted up against the establishment wing of the party and appeared on the primary ballot only after filing a lawsuit alleging improper vote-counting at the GOP convention in March.
During the primary, Fisher picked up more than 40,000 votes while Baker racked up more than 116,000. Fisher laid out a vision for a much more limited government. Baker, who has made a point of trying to appeal to all voters, avoided directly engaging with Fisher during the forums and debates where they appeared together.
"Charlie thanks Mr. Fisher for his spirited campaign," Baker spokesman Tim Buckley told the News Service in a statement.
"I've voted for candidates like Charlie, Gabriel Gomez, Scott Brown the second time around, having to hold my nose to do so, and other people who are in groups, tea party groups like myself who didn't vote for them and were critical of me voting for them," Fisher told the News Service. "It would be a similar thing with Charlie."
On the Democratic side, both primary challengers have endorsed the party's gubernatorial nominee Martha Coakley, with varying degrees of enthusiasm. Steven Grossman has been an outspoken backer of Coakley, in contrast to his outspoken criticism of her in the lead-up to the Sept. 9 vote.
Don Berwick, a champion of the liberal cause to put government in charge of providing all health insurance, has been a more measured Coakley supporter.

JACKSON, Miss. -- Defeated Mississippi Senate candidate Chris McDaniel is arguing that a state court judge was wrong to dismiss his lawsuit that sought to overturn his Republican primary loss to Sen. Thad Cochran.
Just hours before a midnight deadline, attorneys for McDaniel, a state senator who was supported by tea party groups, filed legal arguments with the Mississippi Supreme Court late Thursday.
The arguments reiterate what McDaniel's attorneys had said before Judge Hollis McGehee dismissed McDaniel's lawsuit last month - that current state law does not specify a deadline for a candidate to challenge a primary loss.

A 1959 judicial decision by the Mississippi Supreme Court imposed a 20-day deadline to file, according to the Jackson Clarion-Ledger, but McDaniel's attorney argued that the decision applies only to local offices, not statewide or legislative offices.
The attorney, Mitch Tyner, also wrote in his brief Thursday that the 1959 Supreme Court ruling became irrelevant when state lawmakers overhauled election laws in 1986.
McGehee had agreed with Cochran's attorneys in saying the court ruling set a timeline for trying to overturn a primary loss, and that McDaniel delayed too long in challenging the results of the Republican primary runoff, which was held on June 24.
McDaniel is asking justices to reverse McGehee's decision and order the judge to hold a full trial on the lawsuit. The suit had asked McGehee to declare McDaniel the GOP primary winner, based on McDaniel's contention that Cochran improperly courted voters who usually support Democrats.
