I don't think Papal Infallibility is a consideration in the process of canonization and he can "repeal" the past requirements for sainthood. However, as Sevry wrote, these new "saints" probably will not be revered in the same way as other saints.
What I found most appalling is the Pope's desire to make the "father" of the European Union a saint. Even the most ignorant observer can realize that the EU is at odds with everything Christian.

Canonizations are exercises of papal infallibility.
I would invite you to peruse both the standard language of canonizations, and the unanimous opinion of theologians on this topic.
