Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Christopher Schröder

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.

depending on which one is competent/relevant for the specific case


In this particular text there is nothing "to chose" or "to prefer" - the "choice" is in fact automatic.

It's about relevance / competence - which one of these two institutions will have to be involved because the specific matter is within their competence.

[the same as] as applicable

Not to contradict the previous suggestions, but just by way of example another typical expression with basically the same meaning
