Tokens: The
fact
that
Mr
Engelen
,
who
had
originally
made
a
highly
incriminating
statement
,
was
not
granted
anonymity
by
the
police
and
nevertheless
did
not
suffer
any
harm
at
the
hands
of
the
applicants
can
not
be
decisive
in
this
context
.
The
police
may
have
made
a
mistake
in
his
case
by
revealing
his
identity
,
but
in
any
case
later
events
do
not
automatically
and
retrospectively
invalidate
a
reasonable
assessment
of
a
risk
.
One
can
hardly
blame
a
witness
who
expresses
serious
fears
for
not
waiting
until
something
serious
happens
to
him
or
any
other
witness
;
the
only
criterion
for
the
national
court
to
consider
is
the
reasonableness
of
the
fear
.
