Tokens: In
the
Rotaru
case
,
data
collected
under
a
previous
regime
in
an
unlawful
and
arbitrary
way
,
concerning
the
activities
of
a
boy
and
a
student
,
going
back
more
than
fifty
years
and
in
one
case
sixty
-
three
years
,
some
of
the
information
being
demonstrably
false
,
continued
to
be
kept
on
file
without
adequate
and
effective
safeguards
against
abuse
.
It
is
not
for
this
Court
to
say
whether
this
information
should
be
destroyed
or
whether
comprehensive
rights
of
access
and
rectification
should
be
guaranteed
,
or
whether
any
other
system
would
be
in
conformity
with
the
Convention
.
But
it
is
hard
to
see
what
legitimate
concern
of
national
security
could
justify
the
continued
storing
of
such
information
in
these
circumstances
.
I
therefore
consider
that
the
Court
would
have
been
entitled
to
find
that
the
impugned
measure
in
the
present
case
did
not
pursue
a
legitimate
aim
within
the
meaning
of
Article
8
§
2
