I don't have the fonts that are used by symb-eur, so I can't test your
file, but my guess is that:
- if you only want the official euro symbol, don't even load the
package (but euro may not fit well with the font you're using)
- if you would like to keep slanted/bold version of the font and if
symb-eur satisfies your needs except that you want the sans version,
one possibility is to rewrite the package:

A long version is to change:

\definefontsynonym [EuroSerif]            [eurose]
\definefontsynonym [EuroSerifBold]        [euroseb]
\definefontsynonym [EuroSerifItalic]      [eurosei]
\definefontsynonym [EuroSerifSlanted]     [eurosei]
\definefontsynonym [EuroSerifBoldItalic]  [eurosebi]
\definefontsynonym [EuroSerifBoldSlanted] [eurosebi]

into:

\definefontsynonym [EuroSerif]            [EuroSans]
\definefontsynonym [EuroSerifBold]        [EuroSansBold]
\definefontsynonym [EuroSerifItalic]      [EuroSansItalic]
\definefontsynonym [EuroSerifSlanted]     [EuroSansSlanted]
\definefontsynonym [EuroSerifBoldItalic]  [EuroSansBoldItalic]
\definefontsynonym [EuroSerifBoldSlanted] [EuroSansBoldSlanted]

An alternative to the command you provided (but with the same
functionality and approximately just as long as yours):

% \startencoding[default] % don't know if this is needed or not
  \definecharacter texteuro {{\ss\symbol[euro]}}
% \stopencoding
