MOSCOW (Reuters) – Talks aimed at lifting U.S. sanctions on Russian automaker GAZ <GAZA.MM> are ongoing with the U.S. Treasury Department, and the company is implementing internal measures to encourage the process, Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said.

The U.S. Treasury extended a deadline for investors to divest from GAZ to March 7, a day after it announced it would lift sanctions on the core assets of Russian tycoon Oleg Deripaska’s empire – Rusal <0486.HK> and parent En+ <ENPLq.L> – which also includes GAZ.
