France has a few territories in a rather similar situation, and possibly the Netherlands as well.
They probably don't want to anger the UK because they might need their support in the future if the same kind of vote happens to them, but at the same time, if they support the UK, a lot of countries will remember it and it could swing the vote against them.
At this point the best game is not to play.
For Germany, I do not know as they do not have overseas territories as far as I know.
However, they are pretty keen on the UK staying in the EU, so that might be the reason.
