Kevan Jones, MP, has formally asked the Secretary of State for Defence what outstanding safety issues there are relating to the A400m Atlas aircraft.

In his reply, Philip Dunne takes a while to say not very much, but he ends with this
the Ministry of Defence is satisfied that there are no safety issues, and that the risks associated with operating A400M are fully consistent with its certified safety requirements – for the basic airframe and engine these are consistent with a civilian airliner – and that the platform is not subject to intolerable or unmanaged safety issues.
If you want to see more, I'm indebted to Think Defence at 4554 - Future Large Aircraft (Answered) - Think Defence
but if you want it from the horse's mouth, then Hansard is probably your best bet.
