NATIONAL LEGAL FRAMEWORK CONCERNING THE APPLICATION OF CROSS-BORDER INSTRUMENTS TO PERSONS WITH INTELLECTUAL AND/OR PSYCHOSOCIAL DISABILITIES IN LAW AND PRACTICE 20 Prosecutor's Office that I have mentioned, i.e. the rules on the issuance of the European Union arrest warrant provide for this right, however, the regulation is poor. Because in such a case, if a person who is detained in another country requests to have a lawyer in Lithuania, the information about the State Guaranteed Legal Aid Service and the right to have a lawyer in Lithuania is forwarded to them in accordance with these rules. What this actually means, I really have no idea. Because the Code of Criminal Procedure does not contain any such grounds for the mandatory appointment of a lawyer.“17 It should be noted here that, in cases where it is not mandatory under the Code of Criminal Procedure, the legal aid guaranteed in Lithuania is granted on the basis of an assessment of a person's income level. Consequently, in this case, the State Guaranteed Legal Aid Service would assess the level of income of the national from the other country who is the subject of the EAW on the basis of the request before deciding whether state guaranteed legal aid is available. Mandatory presence of a representative is foreseen in cases where Lithuania is the executing state but not the issuing state. 17 Quote from one of the semi-structured interviews.
