Nov 2 (Reuters) - A small summit for some euro zone leaders will take place on the sidelines of the G20 summit on Thursday, French President Nicolas Sarkozy's office said on Wednesday.
The 0930 GMT meeting will bring together leaders from Germany, Italy, Spain and France, the Elysee presidential palace said. Also present will be representatives from the European Central Bank, the European Commission and the European Council.
The office said an International Monetary Fund representative might also attend.

Many of France's high-profile companies, including Air France, Renault, Hermès and Dior, are acting either as official partners or sponsors of the French G20/G8 presidency. But it is the participation of Société Générale that has attracted particular ire.
A spokesman for the bank said it had "contributed" €50,000 to the organisation of the G20/G8 presidency, but that it had received nothing, except logo placement on the website, in return. "We have not got anything nor did we ask for anything in return for this support," the spokesman said, adding that there would be no stands, no events and no team on site.
Avaaz said they believed the private sponsorship of Cannes would give sponsors access to policymakers. But an Elysée official said: "This gives absolutely no privileged access of any kind whatsoever, certainly not to any dinners, which only involve heads of state."
