EU free movement law is originally and most strongly associated with WORKING somewhere. Country G is that country.
If you are working in G, then your wife can work there and live there. It is an absolute right, nothing optional or special. It is only conditional on you continuing to have lawful residence in G. You have that.
Glad you asked for the Supervisor. Make sure you write down each person's name.
Yes, thanks. This fact is clear to me now. However, it appears not to be clear to them, as they first need to clarify a 9 year-old law...

But at least something is happening now!
What do you think would be my best answer to this email in order to possibly speed this up?
PS: I forwarded this to my HR, as I thought this will be interesting to them as well. They could not believe what they were reading.. They had to renew the working permit for the Argentinian wife of the Italian husband I mentioned last week, in October.. The couple is living in Spain and both are working for our company... Apparently the employment board is sending out annual renewal letters like it was car tax... This needs to change!
And yes, I got the name and email address of the person that gave me the information.
