Under Eu-pact article 5a in page 109, state that the member states should concludes asylum procedure within 21 months of lodging the application.
Please could someone help us to check if this also applies in Germany?

Also the article on asylum information and database:
Time limits
The general time limit for the BAMF to decide on an application is six months.[1] The relevant provision was changed with the 2022 Act on the acceleration of asylum court proceedings and asylum procedures[2] and now closely mirrors Art. 31 of the EU APD..If no decision has been taken within 6 months, the BAMF must notify asylum seekers upon request about when the decision is likely to be taken.[3] The time limit can be extended to a maximum of 15 months if:
Complex issues of fact and/or law arise,
A large number of foreigners simultaneously apply for international protection, making it especially difficult in practice to conclude the procedure within the six-month time limit,
Where the delay can clearly be attributed to the failure of the applicant to comply with their obligations in the asylum procedure (Section 15 Asylum Act),[4]
The time limit of 15 months can be extended for another 3 months in exceptional cases where this is necessary to ensure an adequate and complete examination of the application.[5] In line with Art. 31(5) EU APD, the new provision equally sets an absolute time limit of 21 months.[6
