lpv:translated text	". Although visas should only be granted at borders in exceptional circumstances, common procedures must be established in the Member States for the transit of seamen, a professional category that is subject to enormous labour mobility. This initiative is intended to update, clarify and streamline rules for granting visas to seamen in transit. The major legislative innovation consists of the possibility, provided that certain conditions are met, of issuing collective transit visas to seamen from the same vessel who are travelling in a group of between five and fifty people, provided that the period of transit is limited. They must not be required to have the same nationality, however, because in practical terms, this would basically nullify the effects of this proposal. It is also important to make the shipping agent and the shipping line responsible for visa requests. The need for the exchange of information must also be emphasised to ascertain, for example, whether an individual has been arrested, whether he has a criminal record, whether he is suspected of being involved in trafficking or in illegal immigration. This initiative, with the amendments tabled by the European Parliament can contribute to making the complex Schengen acquis a little more comprehensible and bring solutions which, although perhaps not the ones we would wish to see – such as the introduction of more thoroughgoing reforms of the Schengen acquis – are solutions that are possible."@en1
