text: United States and 44 per cent for France. Payment for these exports would only have been possible if South Africa's major trading partners had provided guaranteed exports credits. 60. Overall, the sanctions measures adopted, particularly by South Africa's major trading partners, are far from satisfactory. Their impact has been greatly reduced by their failure to restrict imports of strategic mineral and by keeping certain channels open for technology transfer and credit. IV. SOURCES USED FOR THE REPORT 61. The present report updates the reports submitted to the Sub-Commission at its fortieth (E/CN.4/Sub.2/1988/6 and Add.l) and forty-first (E/CN.4/Sub.2/1989/9 and Corr.l and Add.l) sessions.

analysis: The text appears to be a report on the economic sanctions imposed on South Africa and its impact on the country's economy. It discusses the effects of sanctions on South Africa's exports, imports, and trade relationships with other countries. The report also mentions the failure of sanctions to restrict imports of strategic minerals and technology transfer, suggesting that the focus is on the economic aspects of the sanctions rather than their humanitarian or environmental impact.
