The new Directive comes into force on 29 December 2009 so Declarations issued before then are to be made under 98/37/EC and after that date will need to reference 2006/42/EC.
The new and old directives are considered to be so similar that there is no need for a transition period where both directives co-exist. The Commission have published a useful FAQ on the transition between the two directives which is available from http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/mechan_equipment/machinery/faq2006-42-ec.pdf Regards Nick.
