specific procedure. While a joint decision issued by the Ministers of Justice and Finance determines the calculation and payment of the attorney’s fees. We would like to emphasize, however, that the legislation in effect does not provide for the ex officio appointment of a counsel by an investigating officer, a fact which our Department intends to airless to the above mentioned Ministry of Justice, which has forwarded said Bill for our information, with a view to covering this case as well. k. Note is made that foreign nationals arrested for violations of the legislation on foreign nationals (Act No 1975/1991), such as illegal entry into the Greek territory (article 4 para.3, Act No 1975/1991) are detained for criminal offences and are treated within the frame of the current criminal procedure. Such foreign nationals, and any person arrested for criminal offences, are provided with general information forms concerning the prisoners’ rights (Sample D-33) immediately upon their arrival at the relevant Police Establishments, where all their rights are detailed, both concerning their period of detention therein, as well as concerning the procedure followed. The provisions of the legislation on foreign nationals (article 4 para.4 Act No 1975/1991) set forth that, in the frame of the criminal procedure, the public prosecutor of the Court of Magistrates can abstain, upon the consent of the public prosecutor of the Appellate Court, from to criminal proceedings against a foreign national for the offence of illegal entry into the Greek territory, in which case the foreign national is again immediately turned back to the country of his departure or origin. Until the relevant decision is issued by the public prosecutor of the Court of Magistrates, the foreign national in detention is treated according to the criminal procedural provisions. l. Stress should be put to the fact that the Ministry of Public Order has shown particular concern about this matter. In particular, circular order Ref.10 4803/22/14-ëóô´ of 31 March 1997 has been issued by the Ministry’s Secretary General, offering clarifications to the Police Departments and underlining the police officers’ obligations to offer information to foreign nationals detained for violations of the legislation on foreign nationals (Act No 1975/1991).
