From ripe-81:

...
 o   An IP network number can and must only  belong  to  one
     AS.  This  is  a direct consequence of the fact that at
     each point in the Internet there  can  be  exactly  one
     routing policy for traffic destined to each network. In
     the case of the IP network which is  used  in  neighbor
     peering between two ASes, say at the border between two
     ASes, a conscious decision must be made as to which  AS
     this IP network number actually resides in.
...

So either the JANET RBS or the EBS should stop injecting this
net into EBONE. Any problems with that?
