That topic has been quite actively discussed on comp.text.tex.

I think there is a METAFONT version now -- possibly more than one.
There is also a package that fakes the symbol without METAFONT, and there's
a package for using the logo in PostScript form.

Supposedly, many of those packages are against EU directives, because the
symbol is supposed to ALWAYS look the same, regardless of the font you're
using!? Silly politicians...
