E/C.12/EST/CO/2 30. The Committee regrets that adequate information has not been provided to enable it to ascertain the full enjoyment of the rights guaranteed to the several national, ethnic and linguistic minorities in the State party. The Committee is also concerned about the absence of a legislative framework recognizing the identities and the cultural rights of minorities, in spite of the activities undertaken for their promotion. (art. 15) The Committee recommends that the State party guarantee in its legislation the status and rights of national, ethnic and linguistic minorities, including by adopting a comprehensive law, so as to ensure the protection and promotion of economic, social and cultural rights for all minorities. In particular, the Committee recommends that an adequate status be granted to minority languages. For the implementation of this recommendation, the Committee draws the attention of the State party to its general comment No. 21 (2009) on the right to everyone to take part in cultural life. The Committee also requests the State party to include in its next periodic report information on the share of the public budget invested in the promotion of the culture of minorities. 31. The Committee is concerned that some sections of the population, in particular disadvantaged and marginalized individuals and groups, do not participate in cultural activities due to limited accessibility and affordability. (art. 15) The Committee encourages the State party to take measures to promote the realization of the right of everyone to take part in cultural life, including by ensuring that access to cultural goods is facilitated, particularly for disadvantaged and marginalized individuals and groups. 32. The Committee requests the State party to include in its next periodic report more detailed information on: (a) The impact of the implementation of plans on the improvement of the quality of water; (b) The coverage of health care for older persons, particularly older women, including the services provided to them; (c) The care of persons with multi-resistant forms of tuberculosis, as well as their number; (d) The extent of trafficking in persons in and from the State party, and the impact of measures taken, including information on the enforcement of the legislation on trafficking; (e) The impact of measures taken to address violence in school; (f) The enrolment of non-Estonian pupils and students at the various levels of education; (g) The measures taken to ensure that the population benefits, without discrimination, from scientific progress and its application. The Committee further requests that the State party provide the relevant data for (a) to (f) on a disaggregated basis by year, sex, and urban/rural area, during the reporting cycle. 33. The Committee encourages the State party to increase the level of its contribution of official development assistance, which stood at 0.1 per cent of gross domestic product in 2010, and to establish a timeline for reaching the international standard of 0.7 per cent of gross national income. 7
