The EAD website has approach plates for
some European countries, but there is no en route data.
Also, the EAD approach plates are designed mostly for A4 printing and are not suitable for in-cockpit use, due to very small fonts used in places. They appear to have been designed for inclusion in the national AIPs publications.
If you want something that is usable in A5 size, or displays usefully on an electronic display device, Jepp is the only way for Europe.
IFR charts are cheap enough. It's the VFR charts that are not.
There is a little bit happening e.g. the Eurocontrol Skyview project
http://www.eurocontrol.int/ais/skyview2/ but this won't produce VFR charts.
