An algebra homomorphism $\psi$ from the q-deformed algebra $U_q({\rm iso}_2)$ with generating elements $I$, $T_1$, $T_2$ and defining relations $[I,T_2]_q=T_1$, $[T_1,I]_q=T_2$, $[T_2,T_1]_q=0$ (where $[A,B]_q=q^{1/2}AB-q^{-1/2}BA$) to the extension ${\hat U}_q({\rm m}_2)$ of the Hopf algebra $U_q({\rm m}_2)$ is constructed. The algebra $U_q({\rm iso}_2)$ at $q=1$ leads to the Lie algebra ${\rm iso}_2 \sim {\rm m}_2$ of the group ISO(2) of motions of the Euclidean plane. The Hopf algebra $U_q({\rm m}_2)$ is treated as a Hopf $q$-deformation of the universal enveloping algebra of ${\rm iso}_2$ and is well-known in the literature. Not all irreducible representations of $U_q({\rm m}_2)$ can be extended to representations of the extension ${\hat U}_q({\rm m}_2)$. Composing the homomorphism $\psi$ with irreducible representations of ${\hat U}_q({\rm m}_2)$ we obtain representations of $U_q({\rm iso}_2)$. Not all of these representations of $U_q({\rm iso}_2)$ are irreducible. The reducible representations of $U_q({\rm iso}_2)$ are decomposed into irreducible components. In this way we obtain all irreducible representations of $U_q({\rm iso}_2)$ when $q$ is not a root of unity. A part of these representations turns into irreducible representations of the Lie algebra iso$_2$ when $q\to 1$. Representations of the other part have no classical analogue.
