Not in Europe. Organic is by definition grown without use of artificial and harmful products like pesticides and herbicides.
Nice goal post move attempt. They do use pesticides in Europe too though. You're just wrong. Now you're wrong twice, nice.
Pesticides are used in Europe, sure. But to be able to market a product as organic there are actually pretty extensive regulations

Copper sulfate is a natural pesticide. It's allowed in organic farming.
It's also more toxic than most artificial pesticides at its effective concentration. Make sure you rinse your organic produce thoroughly.
