Well, you can set your LANG to be something appropriate (I guess fr_BE)
or you can use the options in the report to set the currency to EURO,
for that report.

Unfortunately, the reports use the LOCALE/LANG to set the default
currency. However, you can override this, on a per-report basis, using
the report options.

I believe this to be a bit of a downer, but its the way it works at the
moment.
