It's the euro symbol of the eurosym fonts, not of the CM fonts  
(anyway, I guess your ugly euro symbol comes from cm-super fonts, not  
CM fonts.

I prefer the euro symbol of the Latin Modern fonts (which is the same  
as the true CM fonts:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{lmodern,textcomp}
\usepackage[latin9]{inputenc}
\begin{document}
€
\end{document}
