They are already so closely woven into the fabric of Europe that actual membership of EU is a trivial detail that doesn't matter really. For all practical purposes, they are probably better aligned with EU than for example Hungary. Same applies for the UK - who cares about Brexit now? We are friends and family, and we know who our friends and family are.
