I think so to. The treaties are after all between states. So far the EU consists territorially only of the member states territories, it does not hold any own territory. So if a new state wants entrance it does not matter (legally) if its territory has been part of the EU previously.

Of course, this makes it really interesting if you have break down of a state without any clear successor state.
