You are more than welcome to join, if you ask me(and basically everyone I know).

After all you are the country with the closest sea border to France* and also have a close maritime border to Denmark*.

(*: Well, these parts are not part of the EU,yes,but that's hardly youe fault).

We would be very happy to have you.

And beside the whole "free trade" stuff it also has another often overlooked one: The EU is also a defence alliance (the terms are actually stronger than NATO's but the later takes precedence) especially in times when NATO is,well, unreliable, that might be a big plus as well.
