The notice requires that factories produce quality standard statements and testing reports for all textile and fashion shipments, and EU-bound shoe exports.
“They are being more Catholic than the Pope,” said one toy executive, who asked not to be identified. “I hope the Chinese authorities will back off a bit. My opinion is that they have overreacted.”
该通知要求，对于所有纺织品和时尚产品，以及运往欧盟的鞋品，各个工厂必须提供质量安全声明和检测报告。
一位要求不透露姓名的玩具业管理人士表示：“他们的要求太严格了。我希望中国当局能稍微退后一步。我的观点是，他们反应过头了。”
catholic：(1) 天主教；公教；至公：代表至一、至聖、至公、傳自宗徒的真正的教會。(2) 天主教教友；信徒。(3) 天主教會。(4) 大公教會的：此字原為希臘字，指大公、普遍之義。107年安提約基雅的聖依納爵（St. Ignatius of Antioch）始用之。
pope：教宗；教皇；教化皇（舊稱）：羅馬教會主教享有耶穌特別賜給宗徒之長伯鐸的職位，此職位亦應傳遞於其繼承人，因此教宗為世界主教團的首領、基督 的在世代表、天主教的首領、普世教會在現世的牧人、主教團的首領；而經由此職務，教宗在普世教會內享有最高、完全、直接的職權，且得經常自由行使之（法典 331）。首位教宗為聖伯鐸，至教宗若望保祿二世共計265位（詳見本書附錄）。教宗又可稱 Papa，簡稱 PP.或 Pp.。法典未明定教宗的任期（法典335）。
