Thanks, Phil, and all best wishes for Christmas and New Year :-)
agree neilmac : Yes, although I've never liked "gazette" and would have preferred "bulletin" for the BOE, but hey...

Thanks, Neil :-) Sorry you don't like it; it is the mot juste, I think: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_gazette (journal or bulletin are OK but they apply to other kinds of publications as well).
agree Manuel Cedeño Berrueta : To prevent misunderstandings, I prefer to write the name of the month, since 5/10/04 might be understood as 05 October 2004 or 10 May 2004

Thanks, Manuel :-) That's a fair point; the Americans do it the wrong way round :-) This is 5 October 2004. ¡Felices fiestas!
agree Robert Carter : I've always gone with "gazette" here in LatAm, but the EU seems to prefer "journal" for the BOE. Have a great new year, Charles :-)

I use "gazette" personally, but I don't think it matters very much. Thanks very much Robert, and the same to you :-)
