When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: I have difficulty in applying 'deputy' to an inanimate entity: surely a deputy is a human being?

Comment.
When I've translated "consejería"as Ministry (as the dictionary recommends) for various autonomous goverments, some of them have objected, asking me to use the term "Dept." So, this is what I suggest now. María T. Vargas.
Es una iniciativa impulsada por la Viceconsejería de Política Lingüística, junto con la colaboración de las diputaciones forales, la asociación de municipios vascos EUDEL, y los departamentos de Industria y Empleo del Gobierno Vasco. konfekoop.coop
It is an initiative promoted by the Sub-Department for Language Policy with the collaboration of the Provincial Councils, the EUDEL association of Basque Town Councils, and the Departments of Industry and Employment of the Government of the Basque Autonomous Community. konfekoop.coop
Hope these help.

: But I don't agree that "ministry" is wrong. As long as you make it clear that it's a regional ministry, not a federal one, it seems the obvious choice. The person in charge is the minister. // I'm disagreeing with a previous answer, not you.

I mainly addressed "vice.." backed up by Spanish links / I must be stupid, but I have no clue what you mean by "I'm disagreeing with a previous answer"! Where? I see no disagree any of the proposals.
