We study effects on the W mass measurements at LEP2 from non-perturbat
ive interference effects in the fully hadronic decay channel. Based on
a model for Bose-Einstein interference, which is in agreement with LE
P1 data, we argue that there are no Bose-Einstein correlations between
bosons coming from the different W's. For small reconnection probabil
ities we rule out the possible experimental signal of colour interfere
nce at LEP2, suggested in [1]. The conclusions from this paper are tha
t the theoretical uncertainties in the W mass determination should be
smaller than the experimental statistical error.
