24It follows that, by excluding, for the purposes of calculating such a retirement pension, some civil servants from the benefit of having the periods of study they completed before the age of 18 taken into account, Paragraph 54(2)(a) of the PG 1965 affects the conditions of pay of those civil servants within the meaning of Article 3(1)(c) of Directive 2000/78. Accordingly, Directive 2000/78 applies to situations such as that at issue in the main proceedings.
