Selected
by reasoned decision
This is a pretty standard term in English legalese. For your second example, just insert "duly".
Example sentence:
…del Ministerio de Comercio e Industrias, <b>mediante resolución motivada</b>, expedirá la autorización correspondiente.
…of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry shall issue the authorization <b>by reasoned decision</b>.

(duly) reasoned [or justified] decision
It basically means that a reason must be given to support the decision taken.
But your translation has other serious problems: "Dirección" = "Department," or something similar, not "Director." (It is a thing, not a person.)
"expedirá la autorización correspondiente" = "SHALL ISSUE the corresponding authorization," not "will decide whether or not to issue the corresponding authorization."
With the future tense THERE IS NO CHOICE; your translation is materially incorrect.
