This article is about the EU food supply, and does not appear to attribute the contaminants to US exports. Why are you bringing American cultivation practices into this?

If anything, this OP demonstrates that the EU regulations are futile (though that may be an overstatement).

EU generally leads the developed world in regulation, that has become a meme and a joke.

but for Food related stuff, EU standards and regulation are truly superior for consumers, relative to US and other countries

Nothing said that EU farmers used these pesticides, its related to imports. And even most imports they tested were in the legal limit even though they are from areas where these things are legal.
