Quoting Raimon Goicoechea, from the Generalitat de Catalunya:

The cars of the Ministers (Spanish, consejeros; Catalan, consellers) of the Generalitat de Catalunya (Government of Catalonia), in the official acts, carry a small flag with a white field and the seal of the Generalitat in the center, which serves for their identification as authorities. This is the only use that it makes, but as a [large-sized] flag it is non-existent.
