Short answer: You can't. Euro signs in the HTML reports are not possible 
until gnucash is ported to Gnome2, which nobody has started so far and 
won't be the case until way next year.

Workaround: Change your locale to a locale where euro amounts are shown 
with the string "EUR" instead of the euro sign. For me, that was setting 
LANG=de_DE (instead of LANG=de_DE@euro) in the system-wide configuration 
file.
