CRC/C/CYP/CO/3-4 Adolescent health 40. While welcoming the State party’s National Drug Strategy 2009–2012 to monitor the improvement of the actions by its services and organizations involved in countering drug use, the Committee remains concerned at the high rate of children consuming alcohol, tobacco, drugs and other harmful substances. 41. The Committee recommends that the State party, taking into account the Committee’s general comment No. 4 (2003) on adolescent health and development in the context of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, systematically collect comprehensive information on the consumption of alcohol and tobacco among children, and take the necessary measures for the effective enforcement of the prohibition of the sale of such products to children. The Committee also recommends that the State party consider prohibiting the advertising of alcohol and tobacco products through television, radio, publications, the Internet and other media commonly accessed by children and adolescents. Breastfeeding 42. The Committee is concerned at the paucity of information on the state of breastfeeding in Cyprus. While noting that Cyprus has ratified European Union Directive 2006/131/EC for implementing the International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes, the Committee notes that this directive is less comprehensive than the Code. The Committee also regrets that the State party has yet to implement the Baby-friendly Hospital Initiative. 43. The Committee recommends that the State party establish a mechanism for systematically monitoring infant and child-feeding. In doing so, it recommends that the State party pay particular attention to the rates of breastfeeding initiation and exclusive breastfeeding of children until 6 months of age in its next report. Furthermore, the Committee recommends that the State party strengthen its legislation regulating the marketing of breast-milk substitutes with a view to fully complying with the standards of the International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes. The Committee also recommends that the State party take measures to implement the Baby-friendly Hospital Initiative, including by providing sufficient funds and monitoring the progress of its implementation and success rates. F. Education, leisure and cultural activities (arts. 28, 29 and 31 of the Convention) Education, including vocational training and guidance 44. While welcoming the State party’s Zones of Educational Priority policy to increase the availability of more diverse education in a non-discriminatory manner, the Committee is concerned that: (a) Cypriot Turkish-speaking children continue to have limited access to education, beyond in the restricted context of language lessons, in their native language; (b) There is low availability of holistic early childhood development and education facilities and institutions, particularly for children under the age of 4; (c) Religious education may be a factor of division and conflict among children in school and does not sufficiently contribute to a spirit of understanding, tolerance and friendship among all ethnic and religious groups as stipulated in article 29, paragraph 1 (d) of the Convention. 9
