That's not enough information.  Console or X?  Input or output?  If
input, what keys do you expect to produce euro?

As far as a locale goes, to use iso-8859-15, but not German
localization, try something like:

  LANG=C
  LC_CTYPE=de_DE@euro.

Most X apps are basically monolingual and won't accept the
(non-standard) XFree euro keysym (ALtGr 4 on a UK type 6) unless
they're running in a Latin-9 locale.  The `Compose e =' sequence won't
normally produce euro unless the server was started in a Latin-9
locale.  Those may also work in a utf-8 locale -- I haven't checked.
