III. Of course, foreign nationals have the right to employ an attorney daring the procedure for their administrative deportation as well; the above right is made known to them, having to sign a relevant document, since the moment they are arrested and taken to the police station. The current legislation, in the framework of the criminal preliminary inquiry, does not provide for the free employment of a counsel to the defendants (nationals-aliens). However, it must be noted that relevant provisions are promoted by the Ministry of Justice; namely, according to the Draft Law of this Ministry, in every case where there is a provision for the ex officio appointment of a counsel for the defendant by the court, by a board, or by the examining magistrate or an investigating/examining officer, this counsel is selected from a list drawn up according to a specific procedure. A joint decision 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 force does not provide for the ex officio appointment of a counsel by an investigating/ examining officer, a fact which our Department intends to stress to the above mentioned Ministry of Justice, which has forwarded to us the Draft Law in question for our information, with a view to covering this case as well. IV.

The same are responsible for the training and instruction of police personnel leading to the full adoption and strict implementation of said measures in practice Page 13
