Strasbourg 15.02.2006 - The Committee of Ministers has just adopted a
resolution on how Estonia has put into practice the principles contained

largely based on the second cycle Opinion of the Advisory Committee on
the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities,
highlighting a number of issues on which Estonia is expected to take
further measures to support its national minorities.
The detailed Opinion of the Advisory Committee in respect of Estonia,
together with the comments by the authorities are already available on
line.
The implementation of the Framework Convention is monitored by the
Committee of Ministers and the Advisory Committee. The Committee of
Ministers adopts conclusions and recommendations on the way in which
States Parties comply with the various obligations enshrined in this

assessment made by the Advisory Committee on the basis of periodical
State reports and information from other sources. Follow-up activities
are carried out by the Advisory Committee between periodical reporting
cycles.
