BRUSSELS, July 24 (Reuters) - EU antitrust regulators

are leaning towards clearing U.S. grains merchant Bunge

and Glencore ( GLCNF )-backed Viterra's $34 merger billion deal,

a person with direct knowledge of the matter said on Wednesday.

The companies will tweak remedies offered earlier this month

in return for the European Commission's approval and following

feedback from market participants, the person said.

The companies had offered to sell Viterra's crush and

refining plants for oilseeds in Hungary and Poland.
