3.1.2.3. WFD Inventory of emissions

Limited information on pesticides was reported by the first inventory of emissions according to the EQSD (EU, 2008), and reported in the 2^nd river basin management plans of the WFD, and only a low number of member States reported pollutant release from agriculture or riverine load (Table 3.6).

I am a bit confused. Some of the substances in the list have been banned for decades in EU. How come countries still reports them as pollutant releases from agriculture? Are these considered legacy pollutants? If so, how are "emissions" defined?
