What it asks for, in the Parliament's words

• Calls on the Member States to ensure that certification schemes or equivalent qualification schemes are available, particularly for installers of small-scale shallow geothermal systems and heat pumps
• Regrets that the potential of repurposing for geothermal applications of depleted, abandoned and end-of-life hydrocarbon reservoirs as well as oil and gas wells is not being fully tapped
• Notes that the development of technologies has broadened the area suitable for cost-efficient geothermal projects and their scope

Quoted from A9-0432/2023, which says more than these lines. Each is a whole paragraph; this site does not rewrite them.
