Narrative:

Flying into lppr (porto; portugal) this month and noticed we may have some missing jeppesen approach plates in the database. When flying into porto the ATIS was calling for 'low visibility operations in force ILS CAT 2 approach runway in use 17'. When we went to look for the cat 2 approach; we noticed that it was not in the jeppesen flitedeck-pro (jeppfd-pro) or in the flight publications kit. I asked dispatch via ACARS and he confirmed that company does not have that approach plate even though our reference page says; 'runway 17 is approved for CAT ii operations'. He indicated that weather was rapidly improving and a cat 2 would not be required. He was correct and we flew an uneventful CAT I ILS approach and landing. I did some research and a jeppesen CAT ii ILS 17 is available to the general aviation public (chart is attached) but for some reason company does not have it. I am wondering if this is deliberate or an oversight on our part. It stands to reason [that] if the approach is available and we can fly it; [then] we should have it available to us. It may prevent an unnecessary divert. I also noticed when selecting a SID out of porto the jeppfd-pro gives us a pop-up for 'associate engine-out chart.' when I select it; an orange highlighted east/O box appears in the left hand index. When I select that prompt; it brings me to my 10-7 page which merely states 'engine failure procedure (runways 17; 35)' and nothing else. No description of the procedure no depiction chart. I am wondering why we have such a pop-up that gives us no useful information. I am wondering if the intent was to bring us to an engine failure procedure page such as at XXX; which describes in detail the engine failure procedure. Granted; the takeoff data message gives us the procedure in detail but I am curious why we have these pop-ups if it is not to direct us to somewhere useful.
