MOSCOW (Dow Jones)--Repsol YPF SA (REP.MC) Chief Executive Antonio Brufau said Tuesday that the compnay should be prepared to get crude from other sources in case imports from Iran are banned.

"We have to be prepared to change our crude mix," Brufau told journalists in Moscow. "This won't be very difficult."

Brufau was in Russia to sign a joint venture with Sweden-listed Alliance Oil Ltd. (AOIL-SDB.SK).
