The OTAN is a military giant with financial pieces of caldera, a debauchery that appears to have corrected thanks to Joe Biden’s legacy at Casa Blanca. The Secretary General of the Alliance, Jens Stoltenberg, proposed that this month strengthen the Alliance’s presupposed side by means of an increase in the contributions to the quay common to mutual the cost of military operations, assuming now by all. Stoltenberg cries that the compromise of the new state administration with the Alliance brings a historic opportunity to increase both its financial resources and its capacity to act in a hostile and unstable global scenario.
Stoltenberg’s proposal comes in the wake of the OTAN’s Defense Ministers’ meeting this week (February 17 and 18), the first to assist the new Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin. The situation will change, among other things, the situation of the Alliance’s operations in Afghanistan. Peru the encounter, virtually as a consequence of the pandemic, will serve as a whole to mark the beginning of a new stage in transatlantic relations beyond a mandate of Donald Trump that he should break the OTAN surveillance and, above all, p in doubt the mutual defense compromise that impera between the allies.
The OTAN’s executive director is proposing to the Ministries to “increase funding” for defense and dissemination activities. The objective of the pre-emptive strike will be, in accordance with the Alliance’s mandate, to finance the battalion deployment in the eastern part of the Alliance, the military operations, the maritime deployments and the maneuvers.
The common denominator of the 30 allies for 2021 alone rises to 258.9 million euros for the civilian population (civil servants and residents in Brussels, among other guests) and 1,610 million euros for the military population (which covers the exploitation host of the general districts of the Alliance and its missions around the world). It has a common investment program in security that has a guest budget of 710 million. A total of 2,500 million euros. In the case of the EU, only the administrative party (officials) will receive 10,000 million euros for this year. The European political defense embassy has been assigned to it for over 1,700 million years.
The debate over the possible financial reorganization of the OTAN will take place this week and will crystallize during the summit that will take place in Brussels with Biden present, in which the first visit to Europe will take place as President of the EEU: “Our summit will be a unique opportunity to start a new chapter in transatlantic relations, ”Stoltenberg said during a press conference this week. “The summit presented to the leaders an ambitious agenda for security and transatlantic defense,” the secretary general said.
Stoltenberg wants to approve the relevance of the Casa Blanca to relaunch the OTAN, endowment of the mayor’s financial muscle, and the establishment of an initiative on technological innovation, to promote political and economic coordination and to achieve unequivocal relief presence of foreign capital.
The mutualization of the invoice for the operations and maneuvers tend to be important wind, says Stoltenberg. First of all, it contributes to the betterment of the European defense economic burden, a request from the United States-era state administration that has been obsessed with the Trump era. On the other hand, the guest compartments serve as incentives so that the allies participate more in the joint operations, knowing that the cost will be totally surpassed by the OTAN presumption. And ultimately, the most important political element pursued by Stoltenberg is to defend the vigilance of Article 5 of the OTAN Treaty, which imposes mutual defense in cases of aggression. “There will be more money together with the demonstration Fortaleza of our compromise with Article 5, our promise of defenders one to another”, Stoltenberg concluded.
In fact, each ally covers the hosts generated by the effects or armament that support a fixed mission. The new formula allows to share this invoice through the common denominator, which includes the contributions of each country in function, among other things, of its gross domestic product. The communal guests of the OTAN have the object of intermittent debates since the founding of the organization 70 years ago, but they have always turned over to the cost of more than the increase in the cost.
The most recent adjustment will be introduced in 2019, when Germany accepts to increase its contribution to 16.35% of the total in order to equalize Washington’s contribution and soothe Trump’s continuous continuation of the EE UU financial burden (in Spain it corresponds to 5.99 % of the invoice of the common guests). The increase in the number of guests now calms down the debate on the goal of setting up a guest on defense equivalent to 2% of national GDP in 2024, an inalienable meta only of guest accommodation in countries such as Germany.
