B) Existing good practices Applicants for stateless status have an automatic right to an interview in Hungary, Moldova and the Philippines. Even though not based on a clear legal provision, this is also the practice in France. Under the guidance of the United Kingdom, the determining authority is only allowed to refrain from the interview ²...³ if there is sufficient evidence of statelessness, including previous findings of fact established during the asylum claim (for example) and the individual is eligible for leave to remain on this basis.71 C) Factors to consider when designing a national system  How is the right to an interview regulated in asylum procedures? Does the law provide for a separate prescreening and an in-merit interview?  If yes, would it be reasonable to adapt the same model to statelessness determination?  Does the law regulate in which cases a follow-up interview needs to take place in asylum procedures or other relevant proceedings (for example expulsion or removal measures, application for a humanitarian residence permit, etc.)?  If yes, would it be reasonable to adapt the same rules to statelessness determination? 71 Applications for leave to remain as a stateless person – Guidance, UK Border Agency, 1 May 2013,Para 2.2 24
