Micropigmentation treatments
A heading in a document on micropigmentation (permanent make-up) treatments. This is the following paragraph:
Existen leyes que regulan todo lo concerniente a la micropigmentación por las que cada nivel institucional (desde el europeo al municipal) tiene perfectamente definidas cuáles son sus competencias y responsabilidades.
I'm not sure what 'competencias' is in this context. As I'm no legal buff, I'd rather get your help on this one. So thanks in advance everyone.

legal jurisdiction (over the field of micropigmentation)
This is another possible suggestion: one legal definition of "competence" is "Jurisdiction", which is the authority of a legal body to deal with and make pronouncements on legal matters and, by implication, to administer justice within a defined area of responsibility

Comment: "Legal jurisdiction worked perfectly in the context. Thanks very much everyone for helping me out. :)"

liability, responsibility
But maybe you should have posted the question as "legal" instead of "cosmetics, beauty".
Note from asker:
| Maybe, yes. Thanks for pointing that out. I wasn't sure whether to put 'legal' (the term) or 'cosmetics' (the context). :) |
