Spain tackling by adjusting the text in the final statement The reason that Spain now agrees with the increased NATO standard of 5 percent is an adjustment of the text in the final declaration that NATO boss Mark Rutte proposed today. Rutte suggested formulating the text slightly looser.
Instead of the text “We admit”, the text “allies (read: NATO countries) would now be included” in the statement. In this way, the increase from the NATO standard to 5 percent can be agreed with the approval of all 32 Member States.
The adjustment was not the only trick that Rutte took out to meet the hard requirement of the US. Earlier he already managed to forge a compromise with Washington by agreeing that of the 5 percent that NATO member states have to spend on defense ‘only’ 3.5 percent have to be spent on primary defense matters. The remaining 1.5 percent may be invested in supporting matters, such as making bridges tank -resistant, the weapon industry and better cyber protection.
