The EFN Secretary General, Paul De Raeve, added that Poland, since 2004 <a href=\"http:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/enlargement\/index_en.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EU enlargement<\/a>, has made enormous progress in upscaling nurses with millions of EU funds, and therefore, it is unacceptable to move nursing education back to the Communist regime.
