European stocks fell for a second day after slowing sales growth at Oracle Corp. in the U.S. pushed technology shares lower and a selloff in Thailand rattled investor confidence.

SAP AG and Business Objects SA led declines among software makers. BP Plc and Total SA slid after oil yesterday posted its biggest drop in a month.
