The only good thing about euro rules is the weight of bags, they are all 25kg now, so one bag of dust is 25kg and a bag of sand is the same, great for mixes, one bag of dust + 5 bags of sand = 5:1 mix, easy as that.

If your not that fast a good idea is to put some lime in to slow down the setting time, mix ratio would be 10:2:1 sand, cement, lime.
