The United Kingdom has made a further voluntary contribution to the new Octopus project, amounting to UK Pounds 100,000.

The new project aims to support the implementation of the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime (CETS 185), its Protocols and related standards through the Cybercrime Convention Committee (T-CY) and the Cybercrime Programme Office (C-PROC).

The United Kingdom is a Party to the Budapest Convention since 2011, being one of the 65 countries worldwide to have joined the Convention on Cybercrime thus far, and is actively engaged in the search for solutions to render the sharing of electronic evidence for criminal justice purposes more efficient.
