Iberia operates under the provisions of JAR OPS which states (1.515) that for jet aircraft the LD available must be at least 1,666.. times the LD required(dry) and for wet runways multiply by 1,15 on top of that - generally speaking.

I am quite sure that Vref to Vref -5 was the correct TD speed with that terminology. Now on the other hand, I, tough may have been trained poorly, attempt to cross fence at Vapp and flare to Vls, landing at Vls to Vls-7
Surely that is what you ment as well.
