Faster increase of the statutory retirement age to 62 (reached for the 1955 cohort)
The 2012 Social Security Financing Act accelerated the timetable of the 2010 pension reform: the minimum retirement age rises by five months per cohort (instead of four) for people born between 1 January 1952 and 31 December 1954, and age 62 is reached for the 1955 cohort instead of 1956. Age limits and full-rate ages are shifted in the same way, including in the civil service.
