Mike,
Enclosed is recent interpretation from DG3:
" As a general rule, the manufacture must ... draw up EC declaration of
conformity. New Approach directives do not require the manufacturer to be
established in the Community."

The manufacturer is obliged to understand both the design and construction
of the product to be able to take the responsibility for the product, i.e.
for it being in compliance with all provisions of the relevant New Approach
directive(s). As regards conformity assessment, the manufacturer's
responsibility depends on the procedure applied. As a general rule, the
manufacture must take all measures necessary to ensure that the
manufacturing process assures compliance of the products (e.g. to operate a
quality system), to affix the CE marking to the product, to establish a
technical documentation and to draw up EC declaration of conformity.
New Approach directives do not require the manufacturer to be established in
the Community. Thus, the responsibilities of a manufacturer established
outside the Community are equal to those of a manufacturer established in a
Member State.

I'll quote from the directive, Article 10, 1st paragraph:
"1. In the case of apparatus for which the manufacturer has
applied the
standards referred to in Article 7 (1), the conformity of
apparatus with
this Directive shall be certified by an EC declaration of
conformity issued
by the manufacturer or his authorized representative
established within the
Community......"
Seems clear to me that either the manufacturer, "... or his
authorized
representative established within the Community...." can
sign the
Declaration.
