I Thank you, this works now, but I get a new error message.

....
import codecs
file = "postbank.csv"
output = "%s.eb" % file
outfile = codecs.open(output, "w", "utf_8")
Omschrijving = u'priv? assuranti?n' # string from postbank.csv
Omschrijving = Omschrijving.replace("priv?", 'privé')
Omschrijving = Omschrijving.replace("Assuranti?n", 'Assurantiën')
outfile.write (Omschrijving)
