To bind a command to the euro key, I'd recommend something like:

  (global-set-key "€" 'insert-euro)

Also instead of `insert-euro' I'd just use:

  (global-set-key "€" 'self-insert-command)

But since "€" is already bound to self-insert-command by default, I'd
recommend you don't change anything at all.

BTW 128 (aka \200) is not the latin-9 encoding of the euro sign (it's 164,
aka \244), AFAIK, so the problem is most likely that you haven't correctly
described the coding-system used by your keyboard, which doesn't seem to be
latin-9.
