<p>The Government values the role of Eurojust and that is why Eurojust was one of
the measures we rejoined in December 2014 as part of the decision under Protocol (No.
36) to the EU Treaties to opt out of all pre-Lisbon JHA legislation and opt back into
35 key measures.</p><p>Eurojust can lead to improved criminal justice outcomes by
ensuring that investigators and prosecutors share information and evidence, agree
strategies and co-ordinate activity in order to tackle cross-border criminality in
a more efficient and effective manner.</p><p>Eurojust has a budget of £29.285m (€34m)
and is centrally funded from the EU budget. The UK contributes to the budget as a
whole, not to individual projects. The UK financing share (net of the rebate) of the
2016 EU budget was 13.45%.</p>
