		In the town of Ceuta, legal assistance for foreign nationals - in expulsion processes and for asylum-seekers - is provided by the lawyer at the CETI, a member of the CEAR organisation, or the pool of lawyers of the Ceuta Lawyers’ Association, which has a team of two duty lawyers.
		The Ceuta Lawyers’ Association acknowledged that it has assisted only 121 asylum-seekers in the last three quarters of 2003, and 298 in the first quarter of 2004.(115) However, such assistance is given at the time of the interview and only infrequently prior to that to prepare the case.
		According to the Ceuta Immigration Office, the OAR rarely calls to ask for additional information about the interviews.(128) Consequently, it is very important that, in that first interview, the examiner plays a more active role and attempts to clarify any possible discrepancies, contradictions or ambiguities in the applicant’s statement(129).
