That inclusion expires on 31 December 2009.\n(2)\nOn request the inclusion of an active substance may be renewed for a period not exceeding 10 years. On 6 August 2007 the Commission received such a request from the notifier regarding the renewal of the inclusion for this substance.\n(3)\nOn 10 January 2008 the notifier submitted a technical dossier to the rapporteur Member State Germany in support of its request. Germany delivered its draft reassessment report on 27 July 2009. It is necessary that the European Food Safety Authority performs a peer review.\n(4)\nSince it is impossible to complete the renewal procedure before the date when the inclusion of carbendazim will expire and since the request for renewal was made in sufficient time, in accordance with Article 5(5) of Directive 91/414/EEC a renewal should be granted for the period necessary to complete that procedure.\n(5)\nIt is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.\n(6)\nThe measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:",
