Tokens: We
agree
with
this
assessment
.
It
was
partly
because
of
the
absence
of
an
assessment
of
the
burdens
imposed
on
the
applicants
,
in
comparison
with
the
general
interest
,
that
we
concluded
that
Article
1
of
Protocol
No
.
1
had
been
violated
(
see
§
12
above
)
.
We
also
admit
that
the
degree
of
severity
of
the
penalty
is
relevant
for
the
applicability
of
the
criminal
limb
of
Article
6
of
the
Convention
,
assuming
that
there
is
a
“
charge
”
.
But
when
it
comes
to
the
assessment
of
whether
confiscation
is
a
“
penalty
”
within
the
meaning
of
Article
7
of
the
Convention
,
“
the
severity
of
the
measure
...
is
not
in
itself
decisive
,
since
many
non
-
penal
measures
of
a
preventive
nature
may
,
just
as
measures
which
must
be
classified
as
a
penalty
,
have
a
substantial
impact
on
the
person
concerned
