MOSCOW. March 24 (Interfax) - The Russian government has been informed about the Stockholm Arbitration Court's decision to impose a ban a deal between British Petroleum and Rosneft , the government's official spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Thursday.

"We have just received this information. We need to look into every detail," he said.

On Thursday, the Stockholm Court ruled against BP's deal with Rosneft on strategic partnership in the Arctic and on a share swap, a spokesman for TNK-BP's co-owner Alpha-Access-Renova (AAP) told Interfax earlier.
