What the source says

Verbatim extraction verified: The figure 300% is directly attested in the quoted passage (Trade diversion and suspicious patterns of trade, including circumvention, are undermining the effectiveness of trade actions).
The figure above was extracted from this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
