{noi ge .... gi ...}

It should be {noi}, not {poi}. With {poi} you get a very strange
meaning, it says that of those parts such that four of them are
in Spain and three in France, it contains seven, but it doesn't
say how many parts of other kind it contains. For example, it
doesn't say whether it contains any parts such that two of them 
are in Spain and five of them are in England, say.

With {noi} it says that it contains seven parts, and then it gives
additional info about them.
