Jeppesen have a commercial interest and re-publish information that they are given. They do not design their own procedures and do not guarantee the products are safe to use. They take what they're given - be it from a 3rd world country or not - reformat it in their style and then publish it.
No arguments there.

The relevant state authority, in our case Airservices, has designed and tested the procedure. The safety issue rests firmly there.

Jeppesen, and Airservices Publications, are simply a distribution channel for the procedure. Both organisations do an excellent job of this.

Jeppesen are not responsible for the procedure or its safety. The relevant state authority is. Unless you are suggesting that Jeppesen's quality control over the reproduction process is defective, there is no safety issue involved.

Indeed, if as has been suggested,
Jepp documents seem to be more user friendly
and,
the approach brief on the Jepp charts is far easier to use and it all runs in an easy to use/practical order
then it could even be said that safety has been enhanced.
