The EU are not concerned, just rather sad at what the UK is doing to itself.
Of course the EU are concerned, They are about to lose one of their biggest cash contributors. Why do you think they are trying to get such a big payment out of us?
Of course Scotland and Catalonia could be autonomous and independent within the EU. And the Scots referendum debate made no such thing clear, the Scottish people were fed the lie that their continued EU membership depended upon remaining in the UK. And a fat lot of good remaining in the UK has done them in that respect.
The EU made it clear that there would be no automatic entry for Scotland if they left the UK.
If they attempted to re-join they would have to introduce the Euro (a requirement for any new joiners to the EU) they would also have to be accepted by the remaining 27 members (unlikely to be accepted by Spain as it would set a bad example for Catelonia).
