(Repeats with no changes)

LONDON, Dec (Shanghai: 600875.SS - news) 1 (Reuters) - Glencore (Amsterdam: GX8.AS - news) > said on Thursday it had sold assets worth $6.3 billion this year, compared with previous guidance of $1-2 billion, and its debt reduction plan was nearly completed.

It said its earnings before tax and interest from its marketing unit should be at the higher end of a previously announced range of $2.5 billion to $2.7 billion.

"We have delivered on our commitments and done so in a way that has preserved the long-term earnings capability of the group," CEO Ivan Glasenberg said in a statement.
