Fortunately the authorities are onto this. Including the German Institute for Risk assessment.
The BfR has finalised its draft report for the re-evaluation of glyphosate
Unfortunately the report seems lacking.

Assessment Report
An Analysis of Gaps and Deficiencies

Conclusions
The current analysis demonstrated omissions and distortion of facts in the toxicology part of
the draft RAR that was submitted to the EFSA. The BfR which was in charge of this part of the RAR has full responsibility for these gaps and deficiencies. The identified neglect of
scientific publications, failure to apply state-of-the-art statistical methods to regulatory studies and distortion of facts in Volume 1 of the RAR (as compared to Volume 3, Annex B.6) fall altogether into areas related to the assessment of carcinogenicity. This weakening of
evidence by three different processes, i.e. neglect of studies, failure of analysis and distortion of facts, nourishes the suspicion that this was done on purpose.
In addition examples are provided that the opportunity for public comments of the RAR
merely represents an alibi event, because despite of the facts provided during the
commenting phase no change of assessment at all could be identified in the analyzed parts
of the RAR.
This Renewal Assessment Report needs to be subjected to a complete and thorough reanalysis by a group of truly impartial experts before a decision can be made about the
approval or non-approval of the glyphosate in the European Union.
